Modern statistics is very different from the dry and dusty discipline of the popular imagination. In its place is an exciting subject which uses deep theory and powerful software tools to shed light and enable understanding. And it sheds this light on all aspects of our lives, enabling astronomers to explore the origins of the universe, archaeologists to investigate ancient civilisations, governments to understand how to benefit and improve society, and businesses to learn how best to provide goods and services. Aimed at readers with no prior mathematical knowledge, this Very Short Introduction explores and explains how statistics work, and how we can decipher them.

用户评价

发人深省，可读性强富有启发性。但严格的避免谈及数学导致统计推断和建模这两章显得隔靴搔痒。但这是由于于学科本身的限制，和作者的意图与水平关系不大。

内容不错
