Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-17 00:00:00 Al Delarosa I used this as a secondary reference when first learning the theory of linear normal models. This book is in the middle ground when it comes to the level of abstraction. Most formulas are written using matrix products instead of the more abstract "coordinate-free" approach where everything is written as projections, norms and inner products. Both approaches have their advantages - this book gives better hand-on feeling for the formulas, whereas the coordinate-free approach helps with building intuition. Highly recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-03-05 00:00:00 Jarrid Harter I read some of this as a secondary text when first learning the theory of linear normal models. My primary text lacked certain aspects of actually applying linear models which this text covered in a simple fashion. However, the text is not suited as an introduction to the mathematical theory behind linear models.
