About this title

Synopsis

Intended for the one- or two-term algebra-based course in statistical methods, this innovative book takes full advantage of the computer both as a computational and as an analytical tool. The focus is on a serious analysis of real case studies; on strategies and tools of modern statistical data analysis, on the interplay of statistics and scientific learning, and on the communication of results.
