MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
"The text is lucidly written andtheoretical discussions are amply complemented with examples andexercises. The book is accessible to students and users of statisticalmethods. It could, without doubt, serve as a textbook for courses onapplied regression and generalized linear models. It will be a welcomeaddition to the resources of any applied statistician." TECHNOMETRICS

"I would recommend practitioners of regression, this is, probably mostof us, to read and use this book." JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICALASSOCIATION

"I would recommend ROBUST DIAGNOSTICS REGRESSION ANALYSIS and tools for anyone who does a fair amount of applied regressionanalysis on small- to moderate-sized datasets. It would be especiallyuseful for anyone who uses nonlinear regression and/or generalizedlinear regression, where many fewer diagnostic tools are available. Asa textbook, it would be good as a supplemental or even a primary textin a masters-level regression course. Researchers in other fields whodo their own regression analysis also should be referred to this text,which they will find quite understandable."

"This book presents a hostof graphical tools for regression data analysis, based on the ‘forwardsearch’ approach. … In order to make the work accessible to users, theauthors have developed a number of SPlus programs. … it would be anexcellent reference book for students as well as other data analysts."(Debasis Sengupta, Sankhya, Vol. 65 (4), 2003)

"The topic of thismonograph is the use of certain types of regression diagnostics, basedon a robust forward search … . the monograph is absolutely worthreading. … The monograph is set up in a very instructive manner … . Thematerial is treated in a clear way, the book is very well written andunderstandable. Summarizing, this monograph can be recommended toreaders who want to learn … about the process of modeling in regression… ." (C. Becker, Metrika, July, 2002)

"This book presents highlyinformative graphical methods to understand how a fitted regressionmodel depends on … observations. … The book is intended to beaccessible to students and practitioners, and … provides usefulmaterial for professional statisticians. … An S-Plus library offunctions for implementing many of the methods presented in the book isavailable … . This makes it very easy for anyone to apply the ideas … .the authors have made an important contribution to the field ofregression … ." (Hariharan Iyer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 964, 2001)

"This very down-to-earth volume explores regression models via a‘forward search’ technique … . Programming was done in GAUSS, andS-Plus functions have been developed. A web site provides programs anddata … . These methods provide additional analysis techniques forregression practitioners, and the book is a welcome addition to theliterature." (N. R. Draper, Short Book Reviews, Vol. 21 (1), 2001)


  
      Product Description  This book is about using graphs to understand the relationship betweena regression model and the data to which it is fitted. Because of thenew way in which models are fitted, for example by least squares, wecan lose information about the effect of individual observations oninferences about the form and parameters of the model. The methodsdeveloped in this book reveal how the fitted regression model dependson individual observations and on groups of observations. Robustprocedures can sometimes reveal this structure, but downweight ordiscard some observations. The novelty in this book is to combinerobustness and a "forward" search through the data with regressiondiagnostics and computer graphics.
