Multivariable Model - Building: A Pragmatic Approach to Regression Anaylsis based on Fractional Polynomials for Modelling Continuous Variables

“This new approach, developed in part by the authors over the last decade, is a compromise which promotes interpretable, comprehensible and transportable models.”  (Zentralblatt Math, 1 October 2013)

“It is an excellent book on multivariable model-building, presenting the material in an easy-to-understand and informal style.” (Mathematical Reviews, 2009)

"This excellent book fills a gap in the current literature on statistical modelling. It is the first time that a book is devoted to the whole breadth of application of fractional polynomials. The authors are the experts on this useful methodology." (Statistics in Medicine, Feb 2009)
