Suitable for anyone with an understanding of elementary statistics, Regression Analysis by Example, Third Edition illustrates methods of regression analysis, with examples containing the types of irregularities commonly encountered in the real world. Each example isolates one or two techniques and features detailed discussions of the techniques themselves, the required assumptions, and the evaluated success of each technique. Each of the methods described can be carried out with most currently available statistical software packages.
Bridges the gap between theory and practice of regression analysis, providing a balance between theoretical results, empirical rules, and the analyst's subjective judgment. Describes methods by using realistic examples that emphasize the analysis of data and that contain irregularities similar to those encountered in practice. Demonstrates concepts by utilizing standard—and some not so standard—summary statistics on the basis of their intuitive appeal.
