A Second Course in Statistics: Regression Analysis, 8th Edition gives you the background and confidence to apply regression analysis techniques. The authors focus on readability to provide a learning experience rather than a reference, explaining concepts in a logical, intuitive manner with worked-out examples. Applications to engineering, sociology, psychology, science and business are demonstrated throughout. Real data and scenarios extracted from news articles, journals and actual consulting problems are used to apply the concepts, helping you utilize the techniques outlined in the text. Case studies throughout focus on specific problems and are suitable for class discussion. This text is ideal for the second half of a 2-semester introductory statistics sequence, or a graduate course in applied regression analysis.
