"Over the years, I have had the opportunity to teach several
regression courses, and I cannot think of a better undergraduate
text than this one." ("The American Statistician")
"The book is well written and has many exercises. It can serve
as a very good textbook for scientists and engineers, with only
basic statistics as a prerequisite. I also highly recommend it to
practitioners who want to solve real-life prediction problems."
("Computing Reviews")
"Modern Regression Methods, Second Edition" maintains the
accessible organization, breadth of coverage, and cutting-edge
appeal that earned its predecessor the title of being one of the
top five books for statisticians by an "Amstat News" book editor in
2003. This new edition has been updated and enhanced to include
all-new information on the latest advances and research in the
evolving field of regression analysis.
The book provides a unique treatment of fundamental regression
methods, such as diagnostics, transformations, robust regression,
and ridge regression. Unifying key concepts and procedures, this
new edition emphasizes applications to provide a more hands-on and
comprehensive understanding of regression diagnostics. New features
of the "Second Edition" include:
A revised chapter on logistic regression, including improved
methods of parameter estimation
A new chapter focusing on additional topics of study in
regression, including quantile regression, semiparametric
regression, and Poisson regression
A wealth of new and updated exercises with worked solutions
An extensive FTP site complete with Minitab macros, which allow
the reader to compute analyses, and specialized procedures
Updated references at the end of each chapter that direct the
reader to the appropriate resources for further study
An accessible guide to state-of-the-art regression techniques,
"Modern Regression Methods, Second Edition" is an excellent book
for courses in regression analysis at the upper-undergraduate and
graduate levels. It is also a valuable reference for practicing
statisticians, engineers, and physical scientists.
