Description
Regression and Other Stories by Andrew Gelman, Jennifer Hill, and Aki Vehtari is a practical guide to using regression for real-world problems. It focuses on applying statistical methods to solve issues such as comparison, estimation, prediction, and causal inference. The book covers a range of topics, including sample size and missing data, and provides guidance on implementing methods for experiments and observational studies. Real examples from the authors' experience illustrate the capabilities and limitations of regression, along with practical advice on understanding assumptions and model fitting. The emphasis is on computation in R and Stan, with code available online to aid understanding. Graphics and presentation are used to help explain complex models and their implementation. This book is ideal for those looking to apply statistical methods to real-world problems, and provides a comprehensive introduction to regression and related techniques.
