"With excellent motivating and presenting style, this book is suitable for a beginning graduate level regression course." (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, July 2005) "...revises and expands the standard text, providing extensive coverage of state-of-the-art theory..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1029, 2004)"...largely rewritten...very useful for self-study...an excellent choice for a course in linear models and researchers who are interested in recent literature in the fields..." (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 4, November 2003)“...rewritten to reflect current thinking, such as the major advances in computing during the past 25 years.” (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. LXI, No. 3, September 2003)
