Former correspondent for The Economist, current columnist for Yahoo!, and professor at the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago, Charles Wheelan lives in Chicago with his family.
The field of statistics is rapidly transforming into a discipline that Hal Varian at Google has called "sexy". And with good reason - from batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research - the real-world application of statistics is growing by leaps and bounds. In Naked Statistics, Charles Wheelan strips away the arcane and technical details to get at the underlying intuition that is key to understanding the power of statistical concepts. Tackling a wide-ranging set of problems, he demonstrates how statistics can be used to look at questions that are important and relevant to us today. With the trademark wit, accessibility and fun that made Naked Economics a bestseller, Wheelan brings another essential discipline to life with a one-in-a-million statistics book that you will read for pleasure.

評分這不是關於這本書的看法,隻是看書的時候隱隱約約想起來的閑言碎語。 隨著移動互聯網的興起,數據變得在綫,我們逐漸走進大數據時代,一個前所未有的時代。在許多地方我們可以看到大數據展現的神奇魔力,也一再擔憂大數據所帶來的隱私問題。 然而,有一點卻被大傢無意識地忽...
例子還不錯,學過理論的可以幫助理解,沒學過的,還是不能拿他當教科書呢。
