Riassunto:

This book takes a fresh look at applying regression analysis in the behavioural sciences by introducing the reader to regression analysis through a simple model-building approach.

The authors start with the basics and begin by re-visiting the mean, and the standard deviation, with which most readers will already be familiar, and show that they can be thought of a least squares model. The book then shows that this least squares model is actually a special case of a regression analysis and can be extended to deal with first one, and then more than one independent variable.

Extending the model from the mean to a regression analysis provides a powerful, but simple, way of thinking about what students believe

Recensione:

`An excellent book on regression and correlation, which should be on the shopping list of all researchers in psychology and also of many psychology students' - Statistical Methods in Medical Research

"This book is a gem. I would certainly recommend it to my students." 

(David Clark-Carter)
