I am pleased (and relieved) to announce the publication of Regression Modeling Strategies, With Applications to Linear Models, Logistic Regression, and Survival Analysis (Springer, June 2001). This book covers a wide variety of modeling tools including regression splines, multiple imputation, data reduction, shrinkage, overfitting, bootstrap model validation, and graphical presentation of models. It emphasizes problems caused by stepwise variable selection and model uncertainty, and focuses on flexible strategies that preserve statistical properties to do what could be called "safe data mining." Comprehensive case studies based on S-Plus are presented and software for S-Plus is freely available on many platforms. Very soon the software will be available for the open source R system.
