I believe Frank Harrell's Regression Modeling Strategies is one of the best references for performing regression analysis. website: http://biostat.mc.vanderbi

  Yep, there is really no other book like Harrell. There's a 2015 edition with some good improvements too. Definitely not an introduction, though – it assumes you already know how regression works and preferably have already used it quite a bit in practice. For an introduction, I might recommend Downey's Think Stats [1] for a gentle introduction, Kutner's Applied Linear Statistical Models for a more traditional, mathy introduction or Gelman and Hill's Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical [2] for something in-depth but still very approachable.

    great points. it's not an intro to regression book. although Harrell's examples are very well laid out and easy to follow.
