Applied Regression: An Introduction, Second Edition

by Colin Lewis-Beck and Michael S. Lewis-Beck July 7, 2015 New Books 0

We are pleased to announce completion of our Applied Regression: An Introduction, Second Edition, available in hard copy this July. It maintains the strengths of the First Edition, namely its directness and simplicity, while building out in important ways. The graphics are updated, as are the examples and the statistical language. New substantive sections are added. Altogether, these changes have increased the size of the monograph just enough. Hence, it contains noticeably more than the first edition, but still has the familiar comfortable size.
