Customer Reviews

great for GEE

I didn't read the whole book yet, but I found the 2 chapters of GEE are really helpful. I actually read couple papers before, it is hard to understand. This book is written well, everything is so clearly illustrated. I also briefly looked through other chapters of the book. It is a great book for who is studying logistic regression by himself or people like me who looking for specific reference for some topic.

An excellent textbook

The textbook "Logistic Regression" is an excellent textbook of this statistical method because it is complete and relatively easy. This method will never be really easy but the Authors present the logistic regression in an comprehensible way introducing progressively new terms. The provide many simple clinical examples.

Logistic Regression

Kleinbaum has done it again. His books are so informative and easy to understand. It is worth the money.

Must have

Simply the best logistic regression book I've seen. Concepts clearly and succinctly explained and illustrated. A must-have for all biostatisticians.

An excellent step-by-step text

When Kleinbaum entitles his book "a self-learning text", this is TRUE ! I'm sure anyone can learn logistic regression with this book. It is cristal-clear, very progressive, with real-data examples... If the best teachers are those who make you feel you're intelligent, certainly the author must be a good teacher... because his book is ! I do recommend it warmly to anyone who has to teach (like me) or learn logistic regression.
