It is written by a master, award-winning teacher with an unparalleled expertise of getting difficult concepts across in a deceptively simple fashion. Written in clear functional English, it both teaches the usual applied statistical methods, as well as provides a gentle introduction to Bayesian methods throughout the book. This is, in essence, more of a new book than just a new edition of an existing one. However, the features that made the first edition so successful have been retained: a student needs only basic algebra to understand the conceptual formulations that are illustrated with hands-on real-life examples that will appeal to students and motivate them to understand the importance of statistics in their daily lives. -- Swati Mukerjee Introduction to statistics is a busy field, and Stinerock explains the subject in a careful and friendly manner. The inclusion of Bayesian methods in the second edition is an important contribution - when it is encountered at the beginning of the statistical journey, it allows the reader to appreciate the richness of the Bayesian approach without dealing with the analytical and computational complexities of the subject. -- Eric Novik Author InformationRobert Stinerock has more than 35 years of experience teaching statistics and probability to students at both the undergraduate and graduate level. He currently teaches statistics at two different universities: the Executive MBA Program at Baruch College of The City University of New York and the Quantitative Finance Program at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. He has received several awards for excellence in the classroom: the Stevens Howe School Outstanding Undergraduate Teacher Award; the Stevens Alumni Association Outstanding Teacher Award; and the Fairleigh Dickinson Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching. He has published numerous research articles in academic journals, most recently in the Journal of Macromarketing, the Journal of Business Research, and Geoforum. The first edition of Statistics with R was the Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Winner. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. degrees, all from Columbia University. He and his wife, Jyoti, live in New York City. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
