Summary: Wonderful applied resource
Comment: This review refers to the first edition, which, aside from the dated computer programs used for analyses, discusses a variety of topics that are not typically covered in traditional regression texts. Especially valuable is chapter 9 which consists of a situation where using a combination of linear and nonlinear fits simultaneously, complete with both qualitative and quantitative data. A great extension past books like Draper and Smith and Myers and Montgomery.

Summary: classic practical guide to fitting regression models
Comment: This is a classic text on regression. I am only familiar with an earlier edition but I am sure the style the writing and the content has not changed significantly. This book gives good practical advice as to how to fit regression models and considers all the pitfalls that applied statisticians are faced with. Many of the issues that are raised today including problems of overfitting, multiple collinearity, outliers, diagnostic plots etc. were all considered by these applied statisticians some 30 years ago.

Rating: 5
Summary: Extremely valuable. Covers topics left out of recent texts.
Comment: This book is a classic work in the field of data analysis which is often cited in more recent texts. In the present world of Windows, SAS, SPSS, S-Plus, etc., the pioneering work of Daniel and Wood on computer applications to data analysis looks somewhat dated. However, it will repay careful study by anyone who wants to do thorough analysis of real world data, especially manufacturing process data, because it includes topics, such as nested data sets, which are common in industrial data, but regrettably cannot be analyzed by most standard linear regression techniques as presented in more recent texts. It is a very valuable adjunct to books like Draper and Smith.
