Alternative Methods of Regression
An introduction to a variety of regression methods including linear, least-squares, least-absolute- deviations, robust M, nonparameter rank-based, Bayesian and ridge regressions. Each chapter contains sections on estimating the regression line for simple regression data, testing the slope of the regression line, estimating regression coefficients for multiple regression data and testing regression coefficients. The computation sections at each chapter's end feature existing programs and packages that perform these procedures.
