Applied Linear Regression 4th Ed

Bol

Providing a coherent set of basic methodology for applied linear regression without being encyclopedic, the fourth edition of Applied Linear Regression is thoroughly updated to help students master the theory and applications of linear regression modeling. Praise for the Third Edition "...this is an excellent book which could easily be used as a course text..." —International Statistical Institute The Fourth Edition of Applied Linear Regression provides a thorough update of the basic theory and methodology of linear regression modeling. Demonstrating the practical applications of linear regression analysis techniques, the Fourth Edition uses interesting, real-world exercises and examples. Stressing central concepts such as model building, understanding parameters, assessing fit and reliability, and drawing conclusions, the new edition illustrates how to develop estimation, confidence, and testing procedures primarily through the use of least squares regression. While maintaining the accessible appeal of each previous edition, Applied Linear Regression, Fourth Edition features: Graphical methods stressed in the initial exploratory phase, analysis phase, and summarization phase of an analysis In-depth coverage of parameter estimates in both simple and complex models, transformations, and regression diagnostics Newly added material on topics including testing, ANOVA, and variance assumptions Updated methodology, such as bootstrapping, cross-validation binomial and Poisson regression, and modern model selection methods Applied Linear Regression, Fourth Edition is an excellent textbook for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students, as well as an appropriate reference guide for practitioners and applied statisticians in engineering, business administration, economics, and the social sciences.

Nonlinear Statistical Methods A. Ronald Gallant Describes the recent advances in statistical and probability theory that have removed obstacles to an adequate theory of estimation and inference for nonlinear models. Thoroughly explains theory, methods, computations, and applications. Covers the three major categories of statistical models that relate dependent variables to explanatory variables: univariate regression models, multivariate regression models, and simultaneous equations models. Includes many figures which illustrate computations with SAS(R) code and resulting output. 1987 (0 471-80260-3) 610 pp. Exploring Data Tables, Trends, and Shapes Edited by David C. Hoaglin, Frederick Mosteller, and John W. Tukey Together with its companion volume, Understanding Robust and Exploratory Data Analysis, this work provides a definitive account of exploratory and robust/resistant statistics. It presents a variety of more advanced techniques and extensions of basic exploratory tools, explains why these further developments are valuable, and provides insight into how and why they were invented. In addition to illustrating these techniques, the book traces aspects of their development from classical statistical theory. 1985 (0 471-09776-4) 672 pp. Robust Regression and Outlier Detection Peter J. Rousseeuw and Annick M. Leroy An introduction to robust statistical techniques that have been developed to isolate or identify outliers. Emphasizes simple, intuitive ideas and their application in actual use. No prior knowledge of the field is required. Discusses robustness in regression, simple regression, robust multiple regression, the special case of one-dimensional location, and outlier diagnostics. Also presents an outlook of robustness in related fields such as time series analysis. Emphasizes high-breakdown methods that can cope with a sizable fraction of contamination. Focuses on the least median of squares method, which appeals to the intuition and is easy to use. 1987 (0 471-85233-3) 329 pp.
