This review is from: Applied Regression Analysis for Business and Economics (Hardcover)

I checked Dr. Dielman's Applied Regression textbook out from Tsing-Hua Univ (Taiwan) Library for preparing my MBA thesis regarding the interaction effects. Given the widespread use of the SPSS or SAS, there are fewer texts writen in other commercially available packages. This book provided an alternative option for conducting the regression work.
