Title: Overly heuristic, filled with errors
Review: An absolutely terrible text. The book rarely offers anything remotely resembling rigorous derivations (almost entirely heuristic arguments), and as often as not has errors in the derivations they do present. On top of that, the R package written for this text by the author (package "alr3") contains errors as well. In order to complete the exercises provided in the text, you actually have to EDIT the provided functions.Overall, this is an inexcusably bad book.If it's required for a class, see if you can get it from the library, and buyApplied Linear Statistical Modelsfor reference instead. The notation is a little different, but the notational issues are a small price to pay for actually knowing what's going on.
