GLIM

Linear modelling by least squares is one of the most basic of statistical methods which finds wide application in topics such as multiple regression, modelling of cross-classified data, probit analysis, and many others. The calculations involved to investigate the data are often heavy and require a computer to perform them. This book is a thorough introduction to GLIM which is one of the most widely available packages for this purpose. This book is intended to be an accessible guide to GLIM and emphasizes the practical aspects of analysing complex data. Little previous statistical knowledge is assumed, and with many illustrative examples it will make an ideal desktop companion for researchers in medical and agricultural research, economics, and the social sciences, and industry and commerce. This book is intended for gLIM users (scientists and others needing to computer-process their data) and statisticians.
