Jacob CohenApplied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences, 3rd Edition

I have never felt compelled to write a review for a textbook before, but this is easily the best statistics book I've ever read. The authors are able to make the complex material easy to understand, and maintain a certain level of lightheartedness, sarcasm and humor throughout the text that actually lead me to chuckle out loud on a few occasions, from a stats textbook! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to understand how to do regression and stay awake doing so!

I bought this book as a reference, so I haven't read everything in it. However, it is an extremely useful book to have on the shelf. I bought it because I had borrowed it from my advisor at least 3 times in the last six months. I recommend this book for anyone who uses the general linear model on a regular basis.

I purchased this book to use with a grad class in multiple regression, where the syllabus follows the book closely. I don't know how easy-to-use the book would be without a supporting class, but in class and doing homework, it is extremely helpful. Carefully and plainly explains every aspect of multiple regression. Leaves out or segregates (in "black box" explanations) the complicated math that the computers do for us.This book does NOT include steps for using SPSS or any other stats package, but acknowledges you will be using a computer for calculation. All the better in my opinion, as it won't become obsolete after the next major software revision.This text is often cited when using multiple regression in a published study.

Well, we all know that it is a must-have for all students learning regression. I just started to read it and found that it also included multilevel issues. Cool, how could these guys be so advanced years ago?

The classic, this is at least my 3rd copy, as the others disappear from my office. If you do regression in the social sciences, you need this book. Seriously.

This book is pretty dry and boring to read as a textbook. However, I have heard that it is the best regression book out there. It has all the formulas you'll ever need. I'd recommend you have a decent foundation in statistics before you buy this book, because it will make a lot more sense if you already know the basics.

An excellent reference on multiple methods topics that I have relied upon extensively. Having he Kindle version is even more advantagous due to its' search-ability and the electronic notes and highlights capability.

You have to understand the MRC if you are a researcher in the behavioural science (or want to be one), and this book, bulky though it be, is a great help for you to make sense of it.
