Anotace:	This book takes a fresh look at applying regression analysis in the behavioural sciences by introducing the reader to regression analysis through a simple model building approach. <P></P><P>The authors start with the basics and begin by re-visiting the mean, and the standard deviation, with which most readers will already be familiar, and show that they can be thought of a least squares model. The book then shows that this least squares model is actually a special case of a regression analysis and can be extended to deal with first one, and then more than one independent variable.</P><P></P><P>Extending the model from the mean to a regression analysis provides a powerful, but simple, way of thinking about what students believe are the more complex aspects of regression analysis. </P><P></P><P>The authors gradually extend the model to include aspects of regression analysis such as non-linear regression, logistic regression, and moderator and mediator analysis. These approaches are often presented in terms that are too mathematical for non-statistically inclined students to deal with. </P><P></P><P>Throughout the book maintains a conceptual, non-mathematical focus. Most equations are placed in an appendix, where a detailed explanation is given, to avoid disrupting the flow of the main text. </P><P></P><P>Indispensable for anyone using regression and correlation from undergraduates doing projects to postgraduate and researchers.</P>
