Opis

This bestselling introduction to regression is known for its readability and clarity. Applied Regression, Second Edition organizes the material logically and in a way that students find easy to follow. It provides the reader with applied examples, and without too much unnecessary derivation of mathematical formulae. Colin Lewis-Beck joins his father, Michael, as a new co-author on the Second Edition. This new edition includes: more on regression assumptions and model fit, and additional material on residual analysis; the discussion of collinearity will include the measures of tolerance and VIF, as well as an updated example; more graphs, and these graphs will have a more contemporary design (having been created in the R software); the differences between linearity and nonlinearity will made clearer through the use of more visual illustrations; the mathematical notation used will be made to conform to more current style; and more examples of transformations will be offered, with a focus on solving problems of nonlinearity or outliers.
