With an innovative approach, the authors introduce to students the mathematical and statistical concepts and tools that form a foundation for studying the theory and applications of both univariate and multivariate linear models. In addition to adding R functionality, this second edition features three new chapters and several sections on new topics that are extremely relevant to the current research in statistical methodology. Revised or expanded topics include linear fixed, random and mixed effects models, generalized linear models, Bayesian and hierarchical linear models, model selection, multiple comparisons, and regularized and robust regression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew to the Second Edition: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage of inference for linear models has been expanded into two chapters.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpanded coverage of multiple comparisons, random and mixed effects models, model selection, and missing data.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new chapter on generalized linear models (Chapter 12).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new section on multivariate linear models in Chapter 13, and expanded coverage of the Bayesian linear models and longitudinal models.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new section on regularized regression in Chapter 14.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed data illustrations using R.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors' fresh approach, methodical presentation, wealth of examples, use of R, and introduction to topics beyond the classical theory set this book apart from other texts on linear models.
