‘Regression and Other Stories is simply the best introduction to applied statistics out there. Filled with compelling real-world examples, intuitive explanations, and practical advice, the authors offer a delightfully modern perspective on the subject. It?s an essential resource for students and practitioners across the statistical and social sciences.’ Sharad Goel, Department of Management Science and Engineering, Stanford University

‘With modern software it is very easy to fit complex regression models, and even easier to get their interpretation completely wrong. This wonderful book, summarising the authors’ years of experience, stays away from mathematical proofs, and instead focuses on the insights to be gained by careful plotting and modelling of data. In particular the chapters on causal modelling, and the challenges of working with selected samples, provide some desperately needed lessons.’ David Spiegelhalter, University of Cambridge

‘Gelman and Hill, have done it again, this time with Aki Vehtari. They have written a textbook that should be on every applied quantitative researcher?s bookshelf. Most importantly they explain how to do and interpret regression with real world, complicated examples. Practicing academics in addition to students will benefit from giving this book a close read.’ Christopher Winship, Harvard University, Massachusetts

‘Comprehensive and charming, this regression manual belongs on every regressor?s shelf.’ Joshua Angrist, Massachusetts Institute of Technology –This text refers to the hardcover edition.
