Plane Answers to Complex Questions

This updated textbook provides a wide-ranging introduction to the use and theory of linear models for analyzing data. The author's emphasis is on providing a unified treatment of linear models, including analysis of variance models and regression models.

Features exercises throughout, with additional exercises supplied at the end of each chapter so that readers can retain theory Illustrates the practical application of the projective approach to linear models Includes appendices that with prerequisite background information on linear algebra and mathematical statistics Prepared in conjunction with a new edition of Christensen's Advanced Linear Modeling, so that advanced undergraduate and graduate students have access to a wealth of revised content in statistical theory Provides access to accompanying computer code Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
