Regression textbooks

What regression textbooks are you using in stat courses that introduce
regression?  I'm looking for something with approximately the same
intended scope as Cohen, Cohen, West and Aiken, Applied Multiple
Regression.  That presents OLS, interactions, categorical variables,
and elementary GLM (logit, poisson).    In our second regression
course, we work in more detail with John Fox's Applied Regression and
the Companion book.  Leading up to that, I need some book that is a
bit more applied in nature, with examples from various fields of
study. Something about 200 pages long that ends with a chapter on
logistic regression would be fine.  There was a book called Regression
Analysis By Example, by Samprit Chatterjee, Ali S. Hadi and Bertram
Price, was headed in the right direction, but it seems not to be in
development any more.

If it has R example code for certain basic analysis, it would be perfect.

Suggestions?

Re: Regression textbooks

Paul,

I recommend my book.

 Statistical Analysis and Data Display
An Intermediate Course with Examples in S-PLUS, R, and SAS

Series: Springer Texts in Statistics <http://www.springer.com/series/417>

*Heiberger*, Richard M., *Holland*, Burt

2004, XXIV, 730 p. 200 illus.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=978-0-387-40270-3&x=0&y=0
It comes with the HH package for R and S-Plus, and code for all the
examples in R and S-Plus and for many of the examples in SAS.

Re: Regression textbooks

Hi,

I highly recommend the first chapters of Gelman and Hill (2004). I think it
has everything you want - including R code -  and much more, without being
too advanced. As a PhD student in a quantitative social science this book
was a wonderful resource for me to understand how serious statistical
analysis should be carried out in practice.

Best,

Antonio.

Re: Regression textbooks

In my view there is no better book for regression (including
interactions, categorical variables, and elementary GLMs) than Jeffrey
Wooldridge (2008), Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach, 4th ed.

Where I work this book is sort of the bible for Econometrics.
