Requiring only basic knowledge of statistics and calculus, this textbook explores the diversity of regression techniques. It first reviews random variables, probability distributions, and classical statistical interference. The book then presents the many varieties of regression analyses, including ordinary least squares methods, semiparametric regression, Bayesian methods, robust regression, random coefficients, fuzzy regression, L1 and q-Quantile regression, and regression in a spatial domain. SAS code is available for most of the methods presented. To avoid overwhelming students with calculations, proofs and derivations are provided only in the appendices.
