Publisher's Synopsis
This book is designed for short courses in regression analysis. The goal of the text is to present regression techniques in a way that avoids unnecessary mathematical rigor. The emphasis is on understanding the assumptions, knowing when and how regression might be useful in a business setting, and understanding computer output from commonly encountered statistical packages. The text utilizes the statistical packages of SAS and MINITAB. Other statistical packages containing regression procedures could also be used with little effort.;Actual data drawn from various sources are used throughout the book in the examples and exercises. When data are simulated, an attempt has been made to provide realistic data and situations in which these data might occur. In this way the relevance of the techniques being presented is highlighted for students.;This book should be of interest to business and economics undergraduates.
