Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences

Nelder 1989 and Dobson 1990), this book presents two speciŽ c generalized linear models before its general discussion of the family of generalized linear models. I wish the authors would give some practical examples to motivate the considerations of logistic and Poisson regression models in chapter 4, where the two speciŽ c models are introduced. Also, it would have been helpful to have some additional interpretation of the model parameters. See the approach by Agresti (1996) for an example.
