| NA 3rd image under "Multiple Regression Models" heading |
In the online version, chapter 10 (Multiple Linear Regression), under the "Multiple Regression Models" heading, the third image (10-3) is intended to show the untransformed (i.e., skewed) version of the field "Gross National Income" (gni), but the X-axis in the visualization is "log_gni". I would expect the X-axis of 10-3 to simply be "gni" since the log transformed version in 10-4 has the X-axis label "log_gni". |

Within Chapter 11 (Logistic, Multinomial, and Polynomial Regression), in the second paragraph under the "Logistic Regression" heading, the text states: "The outcome variable in linear regression is a logit...". This should read: "The outcome variable in logistic regression is a logit..." |

This book says, "The degrees of freedom for a chi-square test of goodness of fit is (g - 1)", where g is the number of groups or categories. However, I find different values for degrees of freedom in different books. For example, see Schaum’s Outline of Theory and Problems of Statistics 3rd ed. by Spiegel and Stephens, problems 12.12 and 12.13. These two problems suggest that "the number of parameters used in estimating the expected frequencies" should be subtracted from g - 1 . See also Introduction to Statistics 2nd ed. by Ronald E. Walpole. That book says that "[t]he number of degrees of freedom ... is equal to the the number of cells [i.e. categories] minus the number of quantities obtained from the observed data, which are used in the calculation of the expected frequencies." |
