Hello:

I have 5+ years of experience building logistic regression models, but I'd like to be more broadly informed about modeling, and I'd like to refresh my skills in interpreting models.  I'm seeking recommendations for two kinds of books on modeling.  Ideally, both would be practical in nature and refer the reader to statistical/mathematical formulas stated elsewhere. 

I'd like a book that provides a broad overview of modeling.  The book should describe different kinds of models, model selection techniques, model building strategies, caveats, etc.  It would differentiate building models with survey data from building models with web-based data.  Information on interpreting models would be a plus. 

I also would like a book specific to the field of finance, and more specifically, to modeling risk, such as credit risk.  The book needs to demonstrate how to interpret models.  I wonder if I should get a textbook with problem sets. 

By the way, I searched the posts in the last year for a similar question but didn't see anything.  Does anyone know if CNSL has ever maintained a list of reviews of member-recommended books?

Thank you,
