Summary: "This book unifies diverse regression applications including the classical model, ANOVA models, generalized models including Poisson, Negative binomial, logistic, and survival, neural networks and decision trees under a common umbrella; namely, the conditional distribution model. It explains why the conditional distribution model is the correct model, also explains why the assumptions of the classical regression model are wrong. This one takes a realistic approach from the outset that all models are just approximations. The emphasis is to model Nature's processes realistically, rather than to assume that Nature works in particular, constrained ways"-- Provided by publisher.
