This thoroughly practical and engaging textbook conveys the skills
needed to responsibly develop, conduct, scrutinize, and interpret
statistical analyses, without requiring any high-level math.
Regression Analysis details the most common sources of statistical
biases, including some not covered in other textbooks. Rather than
focusing on complicated equations, the book describes these biases
visually and with examples of situations in which they could arise. As
the author argues, just learning how to conduct regressions without
learning how to properly assess and interpret regressions can do more
harm than good. Other unique features include an innovative approach
to describing the elusive concept of "holding other factors constant"
and proper interpretations of the strength of evidence in light of the
Bayesian critique of hypothesis testing. This third edition enhances
the emphasis on ethical and responsible research practices and creates
more examples demonstrating how the biases and their corrections could
affect the regression results. This is the textbook the author wishes
he had learned from, as it would have helped him avoid many research
mistakes he made in his career at research organizations and in
academia. It is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students
learning quantitative methods in the social sciences, business,
medicine, and data analytics. It will also appeal to researchers and
academics looking to better understand regressions.
