Reviews

<p> This is an introductory statistics textbook intended for use in either a statistics class that precedes a regression class or a one-term class that encompasses statistics and regression analysis. Complaining of the fire hose pedagogy of many introductory statistics courses, Smith (Pomona College) has chosen a focused approach that is intended to provide students with an understanding of the statistical reasoning that is needed for regression analysis. He therefore emphasizes statistical reasoning, real data, pitfalls in data analysis, modeling issues, and word problems. --SciTech Book News
