Applied Regression: An Introduction

by Michael S. Lewis-Beck

Applied regression allows social scientists who are not specialists in quantitative techniques to arrive at clear verbal explanations of their numerical results. Provides a lucid discussion of more specialized subjects: analysis of residuals, interaction effects, specification error, multicollinearity, standardized coefficients, and dummy variables.

This monograph is an excellent introduction to regression analysis. I had the benefit of having the author as a professor almost thirty years ago (does that make me feel kid or does it make him feel old). I still have this on my bookshelf. I still recommend it to those who want a gentle, yet solid understanding of OLS Regression.

A very good introduction to statistics and regression. I've used this in two statistics courses now and it is very easy to understand. Not something I would read on my own, though and I found the subject matter rather boring.

This is a nice brief introduction to regression. Regression is a work horse statistical technique, for instance in the social sciences. This is not written at an advanced level (see Tim Keith's published book on the subject for a more detailed, more technical discussion).
