“The manga sections nail down all the big concepts in an easy-to-read way so that the reader is better prepared for the traditional sections that follow. Don't let the manga brand fool you; it's a legitimate way to learn the material.”

“Reading this book might be a nice prelude to diving into a statistical programming environment like R, since topics like ANOVA, confidence intervals, residuals, R-squared, multicollinearity etc. will make a lot more sense. As an added bonus, the book covers binomial logistic regression which is another popular supervised learning method designed to predict probabilities whether or not something will happen.”

“Each chapter begins with an overview of the problem at hand, a very 'high-level' discussion of the proposed regression technique, a clear outline of the necessary steps involved, and then the complete regression procedure is worked out. I really like that the author includes the procedural outlines and found them quite useful to refer back to. The outline also helps to keep the regression process from becoming overwhelming. Students will benefit greatly from this.”

“The use of manga might lull you into thinking that it lacks depth, but autocorrelation, logistic regression, and even the Mahalanobis difference are covered so it goes well beneath the surface.”

“Another fantastic Manga Guide book. Everyone learns differently, and this method of using an example tied to characters in a logical (business) situation makes learning the basics of regression analysis fun and relatively easy.”

“Never have I seen such an adorable way to learn higher-level mathematical techniques...The characters are fun and lively. It’s encouraging to see someone so eager to learn more about variance analysis and confidence intervals.”
