I approach modelling from a somewhat different perspective to most others, and there is relatively little space devoted to it. Modelling really deserves a book on its own, so I'd highly recommend that you read at least one of these three books: -* Regression modelling strategies by Frank Harrell. +* *Statistical Modeling: A Fresh Approach* by Danny Kaplan, + .
