SAGE 800.818.7243 OR 805.499.9774 6 A.M. TO 5 P.M. PT FAX: 805.375.5291 22 TEXTBOOKS & HANDBOOKS ELEMENTARY REGRESSION MODELING: A Discrete Approach Roger Wojtkiewicz, Ball State University Elementary Regression Modeling builds on simple differences between groups to explain regression and regression modeling. User-friendly and immediately accessible, this book gives readers a thorough understanding of control modeling, interaction modeling, modeling linearity with spline variables, and creating research hypotheses that serve as a conceptual basis for many of the processes and procedures quantitative researchers follow when conducting regression analyses.

Osborne, Clemson University, University of Louisville Jason W. Osborne's Best Practices in Logistic Regression provides students with an accessible, applied approach that communicates logistic regression in clear and concise terms. The book effectively leverages readers' basic intuitive understanding of simple and multiple regressions to guide them into a sophisticated mastery of logistic regression. CONTENTS 1.

Warner, University of New Hampshire This book provides a clear introduction to widely used topics in bivariate and multivariate statistics, including multiple regression, discriminant analysis, MANOVA, factor analysis, and binary logistic regression. The approach is applied and does not require formal mathematics; equations are accompanied by verbal explanations. Each chapter presents a complete empirical research example to illustrate the application of a specifi c method. CONTENTS 1. Review of Basic Concepts / 2.
