Linear regression is the most widely used statistical technique and it underlies many machine learning algorithms. However, linear regression makes strong assumptions about the data that are often not met in practice. Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models by John Fox relaxes these assumptions while still providing a framework for understanding complex relationships among…
