Subject:      Re: Literature on Applied Multiple Regression Analysis?
Comments: To: STAT-L@VM1.MCGILL.CA

Certainly to understand what you are doing you will eventually need to
get through at least Cohen and Cohen.  If you are looking for a somewhat
easier place to start before you read things like Cohen and Cohen, you might
try:
 
Kerlinger, F.  (1986).  Foundations of behavioral research.  NY: Holt,
Rinehart and Winston.
 
Wampold, BE & Freund, RD.  (1987).  Use of multiple regression in
counseling psychology: A flexible data analytic strategy.  Journal of
Counseling Psychology, 34, 372-382.
 
My recollection is that the latest bunch of SPSS for Windows manuals do a
pretty good job of laying out 'how to do it.'
