Regression Basics

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Regression Basics by Leo Kahane does a very strong job in alternating between theory and practice. For example, linear regression modeling is taught from a practical and also from an algorithmic perspective. The book has a nice gradual format, building from simple linear regression theory and practice, to multiple linear regression theory and practice, to nonlinear, panel, and time series theory and practice. The examples are appropriate and engaging, and Kahane's writing is expert in keeping the reader engaged toward a comprehensive understanding of regression basics.

I also like that the book mixes examples from different industries, including professional sport, politics, real estate, and beyond.

In the closing chapter, Dr. Kahane does well in helping the reader understand how to build upon the foundation that the book provides." -- Shane Sanders, Ph.D. Professor, Sports Economics & Analytics, Falk College, Syracuse University, USA

"Regression Basics by Leo Kahane is highly readable without sacrificing rigor or breadth. It covers all the main regression models for an undergraduate or early graduate course while maintaining a readable voice. Even the statistical syntax/exposition is laid out comprehensively but in a fashion that will not dissuade the reader from deeper study of regression modelling. I would recommend this book to professors of undergraduate econometrics, as well as MBA or Masters of economics courses. The supplementary materials allow for straightforward lab sessions with the students. I highly recommend this book." -- Bhavneet Walia, Ph.D., , Falk College, Department of Public Health, Syracuse University, USA
