TAKE THE "MEAN" OUT OF ADVANCED STATISTICS
Now anyone who has mastered basic statistics can easily take the next step up. In "Advanced Statistics Demystified, " experienced statistics instructor Larry J. Stephens provides an effective, anxiety-soothing, and totally painless way to learn advanced statistics -- from inferential statistics, variance analysis, and parametric and nonparametric testing to simple linear regression, correlation, and multiple regression.
With "Advanced Statistics Demystified, " you master the subject one simple step at a time -- at your own speed. This unique self-teaching guide offers exercises at the end of each chapter to pinpoint weaknesses and two 50-question "final exams" to reinforce the entire book.
If you want to build or refresh your understanding of advanced statistics, here's a fast and entertaining self-teaching course that's specially designed to reduce anxiety.
Get ready to: Draw inferences by comparing means, percents, and variances from two different samples Compare more than two means with variance analysis Make accurate interpretations with simple linear regression and correlation Derive inferences, estimations, and predictions with multiple regression models Apply nonparametric tests when the assumptions for the parametric tests are not satisfied Take two "final exams" and grade them yourself!
Simple enough for beginners but challenging enough for advanced students, Advanced Statistics Demystified is your direct route to confident, sophisticated statistical analysis!

Advanced Statistics Demystified by Larry J. Stephens is an educational book that utilizes a spreadsheet, such as Microsoft Excel, to conduct statistical analysis on data. The book also claims that you can use MINITAB, but I am unfamiliar with that program.
The book has self-study problems and questions that encourage understanding.
I enjoyed the book. Thanks for reading my review, and see you next time.

Honestly one of the best at breaking out tests of proportion and means differences. There was a nice tie-in to ANOVA stats for both linear regression and means differences. The graphics are excellent. Unless you have Minitab, the missing Excel Add-on steps would have been nice to have. The examples are real world, and the author goes back to them repeatedly to hammer home more in-depth analyses. Great add-ons at the end for non-parametrics and 6-sigmas.
