Multiple Regression
A Primer

  • Paul D. Allison - University of Pennsylvania, University of Pennsylvania, USA


December 1998 | 224 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Multiple regression is at the heart of social science data analysis, because it deals with explanations and correlations. This book is a complete introduction to this statistical method.

This textbook is designed for the first social statistics course a student takes and, unlike other titles aimed at a higher level, has been specifically written with the undergraduate student in mind.

 
What Is Multiple Regression?
 
How Do I Interpret Multiple Regression Results?
 
What Can Go Wrong with Multiple Regression?
 
How Do I Run a Multiple Regression?
 
How Does Bivariate Regression Work?
 
What Are the Assumptions of Multiple Regression?
 
What Can Be Done about Multicollinearity?
 
How Can Multiple Regression Handle Nonlinear Relationships?
 
How Is Multiple Regression Related to Other Statistical Techniques?

"I find the concept for this approach to teaching undergraduate research methods and statistics innovative and exciting. The idea of ‘core’ texts supplemented by satellite volumes covering specific, important topics makes absolute sense." 

Barbara Heyl
Illinois State University

This book is an excellent reference for applied researchers. Particularly for those who wants to work with multi-variable prediction problem.

This is a well written and accessible book on the core issues relating to using regression analysis. It is well laid out with unambiguous explanations about why proceedures are as they are. Something in there for both the newbie and those who think they already know it all. I will be recommending it to all of my students who take courses on regression.

The accessible language and simple format is ideal for students with little mathematical background.
