Hi, I know this is a little bit offtopic on this list. But I can't find a more appropriate forum that I can ask. If there is a high quality forum on statistics textbook discussion, please let me know.
I am reading Applied Linear Statistical Models. One drawback that I feel about this book is that it discuss many examples, which is to distracting. Numbers are give in those examples. Comments are buried in the examples. If I skip the examples, I would miss some important points. But if I don't skip the examples, it would take me too much time to finish the book (this book is of 1000 pages) However, I feel that the main points in the book can be concisely written in the matrix form. Athough this book has include matrix formulation, but it doesn't use it extensively. For example, the examples are not written with the abstract matrix (I mean just using symbols, such A, to represent the matrix) I'm wondering if there is a well-written book that is more concise than Applied Linear Statistical Models but roughly covers the same topics?
