In 2005, I developed a statistical model to predict the winners of the main four categories in the annual Academy Awards (Oscars): Best Picture, Director, Lead Actor, and Lead Actress. Since then, I've published three research articles discussing this work and continue to use the model to predict these four Oscar winners each year. The predictions and links to the research articles are available here.

Applied Regression Modeling by Iain Pardoe, Wiley, 3rd edition, 2020 offers a concise, comprehensive treatment of the application of statistical regression analysis suitable for undergraduate and graduate students. It covers simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, model building, and advanced regression topics. The book's overall approach is strongly based on an abundant use of illustrations, examples, graphics, and case studies. It develops regression methods in an intuitive fashion so that a strong mathematical background is not needed to master the material.

The website for the book includes the preface, table of contents, information on ordering the book, data files for the examples and problems, information on major statistical software packages that can be used with the book, presentation slides, instructional videos, quizzes, information on obtaining a solutions manual for all the problems in the book, and additional problems not included in the book.
