Title: Applied, don't need a PhD to understand; lacks theory
Product review: This book is very applied and the practitioner with little statistical knowledge will be able to benefit from it. It is easy to read and has many examples. I would say that it is written for MS level grad students. I find it very useful for examples of application.There is not much theory and if you are looking to see how the techniques are founded in first principles, this is not the book for you. If you just want to know how to do it and not concerned too much with underlying theory, you will enjoy this.This is a good overview of the techniques and what they can do. If you end up using a technique, you might want to find a different text to explore the theory more if that is your desire.
