Abstract:
[The authors] have written this text to make statistics accessible to everyone, including those with a limited mathematics background. [The book] emphasizes concepts of statistics. Statistical methods are carefully presented with a focus on understanding both the suitability of the method and the meaning of the result. Statistical methods and measurements are developed in the context of applications.-Pref.
