Introduction to Regression Analysis (Electronic book text)

This book is an introduction to regression analysis for upper division and graduate students in science, engineering, social science and medicine. The emphasis is on the classical linear model using least squares estimation and inference. In addition, topics of current interest, such as regression diagnostics, ridge and logistic regression are treated as well. In contrast to other books at this level, the theoretical foundation of the subject is presented in some detail based on extensive use of matrix algebra. Throughout the text model building and evaluation are emphasised and illustrated with many numerical examples.
