This book was definitely written by someone who knows a lot about statistics, and the audience is apparently intended to also know a lot about statistics. I personally do not. I work in summarizing data, mostly attribute data only, on a daily basis. My workplace owns copies of this book, and I was hoping that it could shed some light on statistics for me, theoretically, and possibily help me from a practical standpoint. However, the book is full of terminology that is difficult for me to remember and formulas that are over my head. Maybe if I had been using it as a textbook for a course where an instructor was there to guide me, I would be getting more out of it. Unfortunately after the first few chapters it is a lot of information to process and it goes over my head. The last time I studied statistics was in high school. I can't honesty recommend self study with this book unless you are competent in statistics or quite a math whiz.
