Recent Product Reviews:
Content can be found fairly easily online so cost is not justified.
Mr Rafael Garcia, Psychology Dept, University of Arizona
I haven't decided to jump into the R "pool" just yet. I am still considering having my online social statistics students use R so I am carefully working my way through the book with the hope that I will switch from SPSS to R in the not too distant future. R is a much more cost effective way to teach stats in the online environment."
Dr John Rausch, History Political Science Dept, West Texas A & M University
It does not fit my class well.
Professor Xiaogang Deng, Sociology Dept, University of Massachusetts
Usefull for enttry level students but it needs to include a chapter on EDA and another on a couple of more advanced topics such as Regression and ANOVA.
Dr Christos Makrigeorgis, School Of Management, Walden University
Bare-Bones really does describe this book. There really is nothing in it.
Dr Vonda Walsh, Math Computer Science Dept, Virginia Military Institute
