Logistic Regression by David G Kleinbaum

Logistic Regression by David G Kleinbaum

As in the first edition, each chapter contains a presentation of its topic in lecture-book format together with objectives, an outline, key formulae, practice exercises, and a test. The lecture-book has a sequence of illustrations and formulae in the left column of each page and a script in the right column. This format allows the script to be read in conjunction with the illustrations and formulae that highlight the main points, formulae, or examples being presented.
