Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a visual and intuitive coverage of the core theory of linear models. Designed to develop fluency with the underlying mathematics and to build a deep understanding of the principles, it's an excellent basis for a one-semester course on statistical theory and linear modeling for intermediate undergraduates or graduate students. Three chapters gradually develop the essentials of linear model theory. They are each preceded by a review chapter that covers a foundational prerequisite topic. This classroom-tested work explores two distinct and complementary types of visualization: the “observations picture” and the “variables picture.” To improve retention of material, this book is supplemented by a bank of ready-made practice exercises for students. These are available for digital or print use.
