Applied Linear Regression (Wiley) (2004) (PDF) torrent

Applied Linear Regression, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide to the methods of applied linear regression. Focusing on model building, assessing fit and reliability, and drawing conclusions, it develops estimation, confidence, and testing procedures mostly using least squares. Throughout, the importance of assumptions and their relevance in specific problems is stressed. Updated to reflect the enormous progress in the area of linear regression since the First Edition in 1980, the Second Edition cites more than 60 references, and includes several new problems, figures, and a totally new chapter that introduces students to nonlinear, logistic, and generalized linear regression models. Containing more than 20 worked examples, real data is used to illustrate variable selection, new predictor construction and dummy variables, model validation and other topics. Applied Linear Regression, Second Edition provides the most in-depth coverage available on transforming variables, finding problems with assumptions, and identifying influential cases. It discusses the special problems of inference and prediction from regression models. And throughout, graphical methods are generously discussed and illustrated.
