good even for statisticians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is useful for those who use statistics while they donnot go deep into theory and advanced topics. It's got good interpretation for formulas and the main topics of statistics supported with nice examples. It's even good for Statistics undergraduate students who are victims of teachers who love theory without connection to the real life. This books aims to go through the main topics in statistics (non-advanced topics) and then it explains its formulas with nice interpretation and connection to the real life and with good examples as well. Although advanced topics like (logistic regression and many others) are not included, but it gives you a good basis for interpretation of what's going on in statistics.
Finally!

I'm having to take statistics course for my Master's, and I was OK with our course textbook until we reached t tests. I was really stuck, and I must have read at least a dozen various sources trying to comprehend the topic, but it remained beyond my limited abilities. When I finally came across this book, it all clicked! And it even started looking rather simple! I'm totally impressed by author's ability to explain statistical concepts in simple, down-to-earth language. If you're struggling with statistics, but can't avoid it, I'm sure this book will be of great help.

Dr. Urdan was a professor of mine, and he always made Stats very, very easy to understand. Good teacher, good book. Definitely worth buying.
An excellent aid for the statistically-anxious student
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is for all students who suffer any sort of statistics-anxiety and yet must take a statistics course in high school or college. Of course, it would also be of value for anyone simply interested in statistics. As college students well know, most statistics texts are typically impossible to make sense of. This book explains quite complex concepts and analyses in ways that professors are often unable to do. The examples are clean and crisp. Difficult material is brought down to earth with prose that is both user-friendly and often humorous. Well worth purchasing.
