""First of all, it is very easy to read. ... The authors manage to introduce and (at least partially) explain even quite complex concepts, e.g. eigenvalues, in an easy and pedagogical way that I suppose is attractive to readers without deeper statistical knowledge. The text is also sprinkled with references for those who want to probe deeper into a certain topic. Secondly, I personally find the book's emphasis on practical data handling very appealing. ... Thirdly, the book gives very nice coverage of regression analysis. ... this is a nicely written book that gives a good overview of a large number. Read more...
