"This book is now well established as an excellent source of
examples for regression analysis. It has been and still is readily
readable and understandable to those with a minimum of data
analytic experience.... It is an excellent source of information
and example analyses concerning regression modeling for the
beginning to moderately trained data analyst." (Journal of the
American Statistical Association, March 2009)
