Summary: Excellent text on generalized linear models with software
Comment: The text is intended to be a self-contained course in applied statistics at the undergraduate (senior) level. It is intended as a second course in statistics and covers the standard general linear model and also the generalized linear model. The software package GENSTAT for Windows Version 5 Release 4.1, a product of a company in Great Britain is used throughout to teach the techniques and provide examples and case studies. The authors write very well and include chapters with the necessary prerequisites to make the course self-contained. A one-month trial copy of the software is available from the software company via a download from their web site. This software is very useful since all the examples use it. The book publisher provides data sets that can be downloaded from their site. The book is much more useful when you have the software and the examples on your computer and can try them out as you follow through the text. The course material is covered in the first 12 chapter and then the material is integrated in the 4 case studies in Chapter 13. There is a postscript chapter which covers extensions of the methodology that is particularly interesting to research statisticians.

This is an excellent applied statistics text for undergraduate statistics majors at the senior level or masters or Ph.D. level students. More details about the book can be found in the review I wrote for Technometrics that will appear sometime in the year 2000.
