A Primer on Linear Models A Primer on Linear Models presents a unified thorough and rigorous development of the theory behind the statistical methodology of regression and analysis of variance (ANOVA). It seamlessly incorporates these concepts using non-full-rank design matrices and emphasizes the exact finite sample theory supporting common statistical methods. With coverage steadily progressing in complexity the text first provides examples of the general linear model including multiple regression models one-way ANOVA mixed-effects models and time series models. It then introduces the basic algebra and geometry of the linear least squares problem before delving into estimability and the Gauss Markov model. After presenting the statistical tools of hypothesis tests and confidence intervals the author analyzes mixed models such as two-way mixed ANOVA and the multivariate linear model. The appendices review linear algebra fundamentals and results as well as Lagrange multipliers. This book enables complete comprehension of the material by taking a general unifying approach to the theory fundamentals and exact results of linear models. GBP 175.00 1
