Regression with Graphics provides a unique treatment of regression by integrating graphical and regression methods for performing exploratory data analysis. More emphasis is given to practical issues and troubleshooting than statistical theory. Techniques are illustrated using real data with environmental themes from diverse disciplines, thus making it interesting and understandable to readers in any field. Stata graphs and output are used throughout the book.
