The new edition is expanded and modernized to reflect recent advances in the field, offering in-depth treatment of diagnostic plots, time series regression, multicollinearity, logistic regression, and robust regression and data mining (both at an elementary level).

Each major topic in regression analysis is treated in a separate chapter.

Exercises have been reorganized, expanded, and upgraded at the end of each chapter.

A short introductory chapter allows smooth transition from previously learned, basic statistical concepts.

A fully integrated web page is provided by the publisher with data sets and solutions to selected exercises.

Numerous graphical displays are presented in order to highlight the significance of visual appeal.

This volume is a realistic look at applications of regression to a variety of common problem situations.

An extensive and greatly revised bibliography is provided at the rear of the book.
