Introduction to Statistics For a book that is an introduction to statistics, this one is chuck full of heavy material. There are a lot of theories and concepts referenced and briefly touched upon that are not necessary material for an introductory exposure to statistics. This approach could sour the reader on the merits and beauty of the discipline. But if the student makes it through the material, they will certainly come out the better for it in terms of statistical knowledge There is a fair amount of good information and some well thought out and helpful explanations and examples. In many cases though the organization and presentation of these might have been presented in a more reader friendly and beginner sympathetic format. Of course it is a textbook, and textbooks do tend to focus more on packing in the information than on providing a painless, enjoyable experience for the reader. And for a textbook, this one is a reasonably good resource. | ||
