Applied Linear Statistical Models

It's the only book in our library that (a) doesn't assume that you know everything already, and (b) doesn't assume that you want to skip over any of the details. Adding in an excess of examples it makes for a very long book, but when you find yourself needing to decypher someone else's statistical software (like I did) it's a life-saver.

The quanlity is fair. the cover is somewhat broken.
someone split drink in the first few pages.

An extremely comprehensive and well written textbook. Very useful as a reference on linear statistical models but at 1400 pages not a straightforward read. Each section is supported by a number of well explained examples.I would strongly recommend this book as a reference but there are a number of alternatives which I prefer in terms of readability and accessibility of the material.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough, especially if one is struggling through a grad level stats course. I spent days looking through texts and reading material on the web, this is the book that is detailed enough and explanatory enough so that I finally understood what was going on with statistics. I went from confused about stats to enjoying them, primarily due to this book. I have it tabbed and write all my class notes in this one... this is a keeper. I am looking forward to the fifth edition if they ever do one.... this text covers regression, logistic regression, correlation, anova and study design (actually covers the material for 3 different stats programs in this one text)--- over 1300 pages and all worth reading!!!(reading hint for the confused.... pay little attention to the reams of formulae and lots of attention to the editorial comments, explanations and discussions that accompany the formulae) Update: This text is now in its 5th edition. The author list has changed slightly (Kutner, Nachtsheim, Neter, Li), and the book now has a CD rom with it (isbn 0072386886).

I have used this book when it was in its first edition and only by Neter and Wasserman. An absolute must for those who use linear models (regression and ANOVA) and want the most exhaustive book out there. This book is one of the rare texts that is also extremely well written. You can not go wrong reading it and studying it on your own. If you can take only one statistics book with you, this is the one. I use the 4th edition so much, I wore my first one out and am now on the second.
