Most textbooks on regression focus on theory and the simplest of
examples. Real statistical problems, however, are complex and subtle.
This is not a book about the theory of regression. It is about using
regression to solve real problems of comparison, estimation,
prediction, and causal inference. Unlike other books, it focuses on
practical issues such as sample size and missing data and a wide range
of goals and techniques. It jumps right in to methods and computer
code you can use immediately. Real examples, real stories from the
authors' experience demonstrate what regression can do and its
limitations, with practical advice for understanding assumptions and
implementing methods for experiments and observational studies. They
make a smooth transition to logistic regression and GLM. The emphasis
is on computation in R and Stan rather than derivations, with code
available online. Graphics and presentation aid understanding of the
models and model fitting.
