Description:

A Primer on Linear Modelspresents a concise yet complete foundation for understanding basic linear models. Designed for a one-semester graduate course, this textbook begins with a practical discussion of basic algebraic and geometric concepts as they apply to the linear model. The books two distinguishing features are the constant use of non-full-rank design matrices to seamlessly incorporate regression, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and various mixed models and attention to the exact, finite sample theory supporting common statistical methods. A Primer on Linear Modelsprovides a brief, yet complete foundation for the understanding of basic linear models. It focuses on the theory behind…
