I'm a biology graduate student taking a mathematical stats course in the stats department that is way over my head. This is not the main text for the class, but I'm using it extensively to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. The book gives a detailed explanation of all core regression and ANOVA concepts in matrix notation, but does not get bogged down in proofs, lemmas, or theorems. It takes time and effort to work through the matrix algebra but everything is presentable in an accessible way, a surprising contrast to most statistical texts I've consulted. If you're lost in the middle of an intermediate to advanced applied stats class, this book will likely help you make sense of the muddle.

This text covers all aspects of applied regression. In addition, it covers required background, theory, and several examples. It is written clearly and develops logically. I used this text for a course, and I highly recommend this text.
