1. Added material on important techniques for data mining, including regression trees and neural network models in Chapters 11 and 13.
2. The Chapter on logistic regression (Chapter 14) has been extensively revised and expanded to include a more thorough treatment of logistic, probit, and complementary log-log models, logistic regression residuals, model selection, model assessment, logistic regression diagnostics, and goodness of fit tests. We have also developed new material on polytomous (multicategory) nominal logistic regression models and polytomous ordinal logistic regression models.
3. We have expanded the discussion of model selection methods and criteria. The Akaike information criterion and Schwarz Bayesian criterion have been added, and a greater emphasis is placed on the use of cross-validation for model selection and validation.
4. New open ended 'Cases' based on data sets from business, health care, and engineering are included. Also, many problem data sets have been updated and expanded.
5. The text includes a CD with all data sets and the Student Solutions manual in PDF. In addition a new supplement, SAS and SPSS Program Solutions by Replogle and Johnson is available for the Fifth Edition.
