UC Berkeley professor Peng Ding announced the print release of Linear Model and Extensions (Chapman & Hall/CRC Press).
- Based on a decade of his "Linear Model" lectures at Berkeley
- Intermediate-level text balancing rigorous proofs with heuristic arguments

- Freely readable on arXiv (2401.00649)
Ding notes that colleagues argued books are still needed in the AI era.
