The surprise bestselling tour de force from a former president of the Royal Statistical Society- the essential guide to statistical science in the age of big dataStatistics has played a leading role in our scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all familiar with the way statistical claims can be sensationalized, particularly in the media.
