Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Primer of Applied Regression and Analysis of Variance, 3e AB - None of us are formally trained as statisticians. We arrived at our common interest in applications of statistics to biomedical data analysis from quite different backgrounds. We each first encountered multiple regression as graduate students. For one of us it was a collaboration with a political science graduate student and volunteer from Common Cause to analyze the effects of expenditures on the outcomes of political campaigns in California* that sparked the interest. For another, it was a need to quantify and unravel the multiple determinants of the way the heart responded to a sudden change in blood pressure.† And, for the third, it was graduate coursework exposure to correlation, regression, and analysis of variance and covariance framed as specific cases of the general linear model then applied to a diverse array of disciplines, from psychology to nursing research. This book in applied analysis of real problems, as opposed to developing new statistical theories.
