A Second Course in Statistics: Regression Analysis: United States Edition

Autor William Mendenhall, Terry L. Sincich
en Limba Engleză Mixed media product – 3 mar 2003
For either the second term of a statistics course or for an advanced course in applied regression analysis for students in all disciplines, especially those in business.

This very applied text focuses on building linear statistical models and developing skills for implementing regression analysis in real-life situations. It includes applications for engineering, sociology, psychology, etc., as well as traditional business applications. The authors use material from news articles, magazines, professional journals, and actual consulting problems to illustrate real-world problems and how to solve them using the tools of regression analysis.
