5.0 out of 5 stars An introductary text
Although Achen's work has been written in 1982, before the booming computer packages and the dawn of internet age, the text is straightforward and grants the readers an adequate coverage on the techniques of regressions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical and accessible guide, October 24, 2011

This review is from: Interpreting and Using Regression (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences) (Paperback)
"Interpreting and Using Regression" is a practical introductory guide that explains regression analysis and how to interpret the results. The text is written in plain English. Achen offers easy-to-understand examples and analogies to illustrate the concepts and procedures in this short (but unfortunately expensive) book. His book is an excellent introduction to regression, as well as a helpful companion to more advanced texts when conducting statistical research.

It would be helpful for reeders if there is short summary of books,
