Regression Graphics

An exploration of regression graphics through computergraphics. Recent developments in computer technology have stimulated new andexciting uses for graphics in statistical analyses. RegressionGraphics, one of the first graduate-level textbooks on the subject,demonstrates how statisticians, both theoretical and applied, canuse these exciting innovations. After developing a relatively newregression context that requires few scope-limiting conditions,Regression Graphics guides readers through the process of analyzingregressions graphically and assessing and selecting models. Thisinnovative reference makes use of a wide range of graphical tools,including 2D and 3D scatterplots, 3D binary response plots, andscatterplot matrices. Supplemented by a companion ftp site, itfeatures numerous data sets and applied examples that are used toelucidate the theory. Other important features of this book include: * Extensive coverage of a relatively new regression context basedon dimension-reduction subspaces and sufficient summary plots * Graphical regression, an iterative visualization process forconstructing sufficient regression views * Graphics for regressions with a binary response * Graphics for model assessment, including residual plots * Net-effects plots for assessing predictor contributions * Graphics for predictor and response transformations * Inverse regression methods * Access to a Web site of supplemental plots, data sets, and 3Dcolor displays. An ideal text for students in graduate-level courses on statisticalanalysis, Regression Graphics is also an excellent reference forprofessional statisticians.
