Critics Review
“An R Companion to Applied Regression continues to provide the most comprehensive and user-friendly guide to estimating, interpreting, and presenting results from regression models in R.”
– Christopher Hare“This is the best book I’ve read for teaching the modern practice of regression. By going deeply into both R and applied regression, it manages to use each topic to motivate and illustrate the other. The whole is much greater than sum of the parts because each thread so effectively reinforces the other. There are many nice surprises in this new edition. R Studio and markdown are used to encourage a reproducible workflow. There’s an excellent and accessible chapter on mixed and longitudinal data that expands the reach of regression methods to the much more complex data structures typical of current practice. Like its predecessors, this edition is a model of clear, thoughtful exposition. It’s an outstanding contribution to the teaching and practice of regression.” – Georges Monette“This is an impressive update to a book I have long admired. The authors have brought the description of how to do data analysis and plots of Applied Regression related data to a modern and more comprehensive level.” – Michael FriendlyAbout The Author
