MP Applied Linear Regression Models with Student CD-rom

by Michael H. Kutner, John Neter, Christopher J. Nachtsheim

Kutner, Nachtsheim, Neter, Wasserman, Applied Linear Regression Models, 4/e (ALRM4e) is the long established leading authoritative text and reference on regression (previously Neter was lead author.) For students in most any discipline where statistical analysis or interpretation is used, ALRM has served as the industry standard. The text includes brief introductory and review material, and then proceeds through regression and modeling. All topics are presented in a precise and clear style supported with solved examples, numbered formulae, graphic illustrations, and "Comments" to provide depth and statistical accuracy and precision. Applications used within the text and the hallmark problems, exercises, and projects are drawn from virtually all disciplines and fields providing motivation for students in any discipline. ALRM 4e provides an increased use of computing and graphical analysis throughout, without sacrificing concepts or rigor.

Very thorough for those who are new to modeling and want to know what goes behind these concepts. I give it five stars as a total beginner. Anyone who isn’t a total beginner will likely find this book frustrating.

I have to say, the appendices and the relatively deep level of detailed derivations the authors included pay such huge dividends for a textbook focusing on the theory behind linear regression topics. It's so helpful to students but it means more work for the authors. Not all authors in the business of writing textbooks are willing to do that. So I'm grateful for the effort. It's a great book to keep as a reference.

I really disliked the way this was put together. Lots and lots of needless explanation that goes too far for an applied text and not far enough for a theoretical one. Bloated and unappealing, this should be thrown in the rubbish heap.

At this point, applied information is all over the internet. No need to pick up a bloated text from 20 years ago.

This was my favorite textbook in college. Thanks Dr. Kutner

Among books on this topic, this one is pretty good. For those that may not have obtained the material sequentially, the appendix is recommended. I can see some giving it lower marks, as it does not fully treat the topic in terms of matrices. I however, prefer that. There is a one chapter that does go through the matrix math as a review.

I do wish there was a companion answer key for all of the problems in the book. Also, at times, a few of the problems are a bit contrived.

Pretty clear - does a really decent job of introducing the concepts of regression and presenting the most important proof concepts without giving too much detail for an applied book. Lots of good problems to work through.

This is a very kind of book for applied statistical students who don't cover much math backgrounds, of course, it's also a good instructor to math students if you want to know more about the statistic more systematically.

Love how they show regression examples to predict
