It highlights the role of the computer in contemporary statistics with numerous printouts and exercises that you can solve using the computer. The authors continue to emphasize model development, the intuitive logic and assumptions that underlie the techniques covered, the purposes, advantages, and disadvantages of the techniques, and valid interpretations of those techniques.

 Rating:  - Just numbers and formulasThis book is really difficult to understand because there are no real explanation. There are a ton of symbols and formulas that are not explained at all. Mostly, this book just shows how certain formulas were derived from others. Our prof did not like this book either, so she gave us her own notes...but even as reference, it is terrible! Rating: - Very confusingI am lucky that I had such a great professor for my statistics class. Unfortunately, although he's great at teaching the material in class, he doesn't have great acumen in choosing textbooks. This book honestly made me way more confused than I otherwise would have been and is one of the worst textbooks I've ever had.

You have to flip back and forth when you are doing the problems because they list the SAS output that you need once in one chapter. I know it saves space, but this can get maddening. I did not find the examples clearly written at all-the lack of fit test, and some of the stuff about partial F tests could have used a few more sentences. No, I cannot write a glowing ...

The authors understand the field and provide a thorough yet concise perspective of mainly regression and ANOVA models. An absolute must book for the applied statistician. Rating: - Excellent Introduction to Linear RegressionI used this book for a second level statistics course for my Master's degree in Epidemiology. I liked it! All the underlying math you want to know is sitting on the pages, clearly explained though examples with computer output and graphs. I worked through the problems in the text without difficulty and reproduced their work. I understood what I was doing. Each chapter is followed by a series of problems. You probably want to get a solutions manual if you want to check your answers. Read More
