GLIM: An Introduction

Summary: Linear modelling by least squares is one of the most basic statistical methods. It finds wide application in areas such as multiple regression, modelling of cross-classified data, probit analysis, and many others. The calculations involved in investigating the data often require computer handling, and this book provides a thorough introduction to GLIM, one of the most widely available--and powerful--computer packages... for this purpose.
