Applied Statistics . . . extensive coverage of regression and analysis of variance techniques combined with its exemplary demonstration of SAS coding through examples make it a valuable resource for a variety of statistics users. . . [W]hile Applied Statistics could effectively be used as a course textbook . . . [I]t may be even more attractive to researchers for use as a reference tool.
