Regression Analysis Textbook

 

Updated: December 1, 2009

 

Question: What textbook do we use?

 

Answer: John Fox, Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models (Sage Publications, 2008).

 

Question: Must I buy the text or does NEAS supply it?

 

Answer: You must purchase the textbook; NEAS supplies all additional material: illustrative questions and answer, homework problems, and explanations.

 

Question: Where can I get the textbook?

 

Answer: Many university bookstores have the text. It can also be ordered from internet booksellers, such as Barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.com. If you live in North America, you receive the book within two or three days. If you live outside North America, it may take longer (about 7 to 9 days to send the text to Asia). Order the text as soon as you know that you will take the on-line course.

 

Question: What is the ISBN number for this book?

 

Answer: ISBN numbers:

 

ISBN-10: 0761930426

ISBN-13: 978-0761930426

 

 

There is a new edition of this book now available. Will the old edition be most useful for the purposes of this course?

[NEAS: The third edition of Fox's textbook (March 2016) has just been published. Both the second and third editions may be used for the on-line course. We will post page numbers for the course modules using the third edition over the coming weeks.]
