"This book takes a fresh look at applying regression analysis in the behavioural sciences by introducing the reader to regression analysis through a simple model building approach." "Miles and Shevlin begin with the basics and by re-visiting the mean and the standard deviation, with which most readers will already be familiar, show that they can be thought of a least squares model. The book then shows that this least squares model is actually a special case of a regression analysis and can be extended to deal with the first one, and then more than one independent variable." "The authors gradually extend the model to include aspects of regression analysis such as non-linear regression, logistic regression, and moderator and mediator analysis. By extending the model from the mean to regression analysis, the book provides a powerful, but straightforward, way of thinking about what students believe are the more complex aspects of regression analysis." "This book will be indispensable for anyone using regression and correlation, from undergraduates doing projects to postgraduates and researchers, and particularly for first-time statisticians."--Jacket.
