By going deeply into both R and applied regression, it manages to use each topic to motivate and illustrate the other. The whole is much greater than sum of the parts because each thread so effectively reinforces the other. There are many nice surprises in this new edition. R Studio and markdown are used to encourage a reproducible workflow. There’s an excellent and accessible chapter on mixed and longitudinal data that expands the reach of regression methods to the much more complex data structures typical of current practice. Like its predecessors, this edition is a model of clear, thoughtful exposition. It’s an outstanding contribution to the teaching and practice of regression." Author: Georges Monette ER -
