İstatistiki mantıksal ve eğlenceli öğretebilen bir kitap - Tüm üniversitelerde okutulmalı. Bunun yanısıra Charles Wheelan 'Naked Statistics ' kitabını da tavsiye ederim.

Unbelievable: a statistics textbook that successfully employs humor and makes the subject clear and enjoyable. Seriously. If you have to take a stats class, look for one that uses this book (Math 80 with Bill King at SF City College is one). This book really enhanced my understanding of the material, and the accompanying CD is unbelievably helpful.

Best. Stats textbook. EVAR.

Förklarade koncepten bra men var ibland lite väl pratig och rörig.
En styrka med den här boken jämfört med andra läroböcker om samma ämne är att den förklarar mer om teknikerna ska tillämpas och vanliga fallgropar att undvika. Förvånande många fel i facit till övningsuppgifterna.
