| Summary: | Many textbooks on regression focus on theory and the simplest examples. Real statistical problems, however, are complex and subtle. This is not a book about the theory of regression.

It focuses on practical issues such as sample size and missing data and a wide range of goals and techniques. It jumps right in to methods and computer code you can use fresh out of the box. |
