Applied Regression Analysis and Multivariable Methods
The authors' writing style is right on the mark--not too many words pass before a good numerical example appears."The integration of the software output is well done.  Good, motivating, real-life examples and problem sets....Chapter 16 does an excellent job of laying out the problem of selecting the 'best' regression model in a step-by-step manner and brings in variable selection procedures."The solution manual to the book is a tremendous 'gift' as it saves a great deal of time for many busy professors.
