Statisticians rely heavily on making models of `causal situations' in order to fully explain and predict events. Modelling therefore plays a vital part in all applications of statistics and is a component of most undergraduate programmes. This book provides a single reference with an applied slant that caters for all three years of a degree course. The book concentrates on core issues and only the most essential mathematical justifications are given in detail. Attention is focused on the statistical aspects of the techniques, in this practical approach. Chapter 1 introduces the statistical modelling and provides the general background ideas and terminology. Chapter 2 covers random variables, probability distributions, sampling distributions and inference. Chapter 3 is devoted to regression models. Chapter 4 discusses analysis of variance. Chapter 5 concentrates on generalized linear models. Chapter 6 introduces logistic regression and related methods while Chapter 7 covers the log-linear models. Further topics are discussed in Chapter 8. There are a number of examples in the book but exercises are not provided. In my view, this book is an excellent handy reference book for one who has completed the study on statistical modelling at undergraduate level.
