"Reinard sets forth a solid intermediate level statistics book that could serve students in advanced researcg classes quite well. In essence, this text would help with the quagmire many students encounter when reading statistics books."
"Each chapter provides a minimum of formulae and avoids complex numerical computations. To some, this approach will appear to be the end of the world as we know it. But, in my experience, detailed examination of statistical formulae via hand computations leads to anxiety about arithmetic rather than a deepening of understanding of statistics for a majority of students. It is only after the anxiety is dealt with, and the student has a degree of facility with statistics, that a deepening understanding can occur with such methods.
A well-written book, suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book cover both elementary and intermediate statistics, and provides some background information about the formula used to calculate the statistics without alienating the reader.
A very good book easy to understand and apply the context covered in ones own research. Has been welcomed by students in my course.
