Sommario/riassunto

The new edition adds a chapter on multiple linear regression in biomedical research, with sections including the multiple linear regressions model and least squares; the ANOVA table, parameter estimates, and confidence intervals; partial f-tests; polynomial regression; and analysis of covariance.* Organized by problem rather than method, so it guides readers to the correct technique for solving the problem at hand.
