Intended for a first course in linear models at either the upper undergraduate or beginning graduate level, Introduction to Linear Models and Statistical Inference provides a basic introduction to probability distribution theory and statistical inference. It includes descriptive methods for building models with an emphasis on linear regression, variance, and covariance. In an effort to extend reader comprehension and intrigue, there is a general discussion of analysis of model fit and modern robust techniques at the end of the book. * The exercises are a mix of both the theoretical and the practical; some are marked as requiring calculus, linear algebra, or computer skills. * The text…
