Covers both theory and application so the reader can understand the basic principles and apply regression methods in a variety of practical settings. Revisions include new material on regression diagnostics, more sample computer output with expanded interpretations, a discussion on handling missing observations and introductions to handling generalized linear models and nonlinear regression.
Great exposition of simple regression models. Perspective on multiple regression was a bit lacking -- the first part of Mostly Harmless Econometrics does a more in depth job here. The back of the book is filled with a lot of applied stuff which is a handy reference but which is mostly skippable. The first 100 pages or so are the core of it.
