The main objective of the new edition of the book is to make regression accessible to the largest number of people by presenting both theoretical and practical aspects simultaneously. It aims to provide a scientifically rigorous content while ensuring the ideas are not buried in demonstrations and calculations. The book includes important demonstrations, exercises of varying difficulty levels, and multiple-choice questions for revision. It also encourages readers to use the provided data and code to understand both theory and practice. The book is intended for students in scientific fields, engineering students, researchers in applied domains, and anyone facing a regression problem. It covers concepts such as models, estimators, bias-variance, confidence intervals, and tests. For readers less familiar with these concepts, the book by Lejeune (2004) is recommended.
