5.0 out of 5 stars Tough but good book, January 11, 2004

This review is from: Data Analysis Using Regression Models: The Business Perspective (Hardcover)

This book is not quite like Draper & Smith or even Cohen & Cohen, but it is very good in its own right. Its appeal is to people with a higher level of quantitative training which may not be present in people with only one undergraduate social science statistics course. The book does have typos, but the book is the first edition-first printing and it is over 700 pages. I found a lot of useful information I could use in my statistical work and learned some different ways at looking at using regression analysis. The book was of great value to me and worth the time spent reading it and thinking about the material presented.

This review is from: Data Analysis Using Regression Models: The Business Perspective (Hardcover)

this book is a total waste. I have never seen such poor explanations as I have seen in this book.I can't say how many times I wanted to burn this book. I can not understand why any school would use this book. Its pretty bad...
