Introduction to Regression Modeling (with CD-ROM) / Edition 1

by Bovas Abraham, Johannes Ledolter

Overview

Looking for an easy-to-understand text to guide you through the tough topic of regression modeling? INTRODUCTION TO REGRESSION MODELING (WITH CD-ROM) offers a blend of theory and regression applications and will give you the practice you need to tackle this subject through exercises, case studies. and projects that have you identify a problem of interest and collect data relevant to the problem's solution. The book goes beyond linear regression by covering nonlinear models, regression models with time series errors, and logistic and Poisson regression models.
