I found something yesterday that might serve as a cautionary note about carefully specifying missing value codes. OfficeMax has a ticket stub for the Hewlett Packard PSC 500 printer that you take up to the cashier when you want to buy that printer. They list the "OfficeMax Everyday Low Price"

I have no doubt that they are world renown experts. I did not meant to be offensive. Excuse me if I was. But I still want to say that the title "Modern Regression and Classification" is a bit too pretentious and misleading. Yes, they are experts, but they are experts in what could be called
