An Introduction to Generalized Linear Models, Third Edition (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science)
Overall, this new edition remains a highly useful and compact introduction to a large number of seemingly disparate regression models. Depending on the background of the audience, it will be suitable for upper-level undergraduate or beginning post-graduate courses.—Christian Kleiber,Statistical Papers(2012) 53The comments of Lang in his review of the second edition, that ‘This relatively short book gives a nice introductory overview of the theory underlying generalized linear modelling. …’ can equally be applied to the new edition. … three new chapters on Bayesian analysis are also added. … suitable for experienced professionals needing to refresh their knowledge … .—Pharmaceutical Statistics, 2011The chapters are short and concise, and the writing is clear … explanations are fundamentally sound and aimed well at an upper-level undergrad or early graduate student in a statistics-related field. This is a very worthwhile book: a good class text and a practical reference for applied statisticians.—BiometricsThis book promises in its introductory section to provide a unifying framework for many statistical techniques. It accomplishes this goal easily. … Furthermore, the text covers important topics that are frequently overlooked in introductory courses, such as models for ordinal outcomes. … This book is an excellent resource, either as an introduction to or a reminder of the technical aspects of generalized linear models and provides a wealth of simple yet useful examples and data sets.—Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, Issue 2Praise for the Second Edition:The second edition … is successful in filling a void in the otherwise sparse literature on the subject of generalized linear models at the introductory level … a wide range of research applications are covered and ample workings are also provided to aid the reader in statistical calculations … I would highly recommend this text … .—Kerrie Nelson,Statistics in Medicine, Vol. 23
