This book takes a fresh look at applying regression analysis in the behavioral sciences by introducing the reader to regression analysis through a simple model-building approach. 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. Thebook 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.A guide for students and researchers.
