5.0 out of 5 stars 90's Update to a Classic Procedure, March 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Regression Analysis: Statistical Modeling of a Response Variable (Hardcover)

Freund & Wilson have taken a classical statistical procedure and breathed new life into it. Covering the basics at an understandable level, the text covers all current and traditional topic areas. From Multipe Regression to PCA regression with a tinge of Ridge Regression. Traditional trouble areas are adequately dealt with. The novice reader will have no trouble in getting up to speed and not have any of the formula hemmoraging normally associated with MRA. For you mathematicians take a break and go do a derivative elsewhere. A Dummies book for the rest of us. 5 stars and 6 bottles of beer for this one. Good job fellas!
