Intro to stats review

The item arrived in a timely fashion and in the condition that it was described in. Overall, this was a good transaction and I would recommend the seller.

Best Introduction to statistics ever

I've been a statistician for over 10 years now. I am also a part time teacher in statistics at different Universities. This book should be an example of how to present and explain some complex issues with simplicity and efficiency. Every new concept is first dicussed and explained by some example before introducing the math formulas. One of the rare book always on my desk.

NEW SECTIONS ARE REALLY USEFUL

I have done masters degree in MATHEMATICS with statistics optional and have done some management courses also. Here I am a PROFESSOR in a COLLEGE where students do B.SC. from LONDON university under EXTERNAL PROGRAM. One of the subjects I teach is "Elements of statistics". we prepared from this book,new sections were written in very simple way with technical examples and with graphs. My students last year got the DISTINCTION in this subject and this year I am also expecting DISTINCTION again from students. So I wanted to contact the auther and compliment the person. Finally as a teacher I would recommend strongly this book for the students of BSC. for "Elements of Statistics". this is a must read for the said subject.

Great Stats Book for Both Beginners and Pros

This is a great book for beginners because it's very well written and has easy-to-follow examples. If you're familiar with stats and only need something for reference, you'll find that this book is comprehensive, and has a great index.
