Foundations of Applied Statistical Methods (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers methods of applied statistics for researchers who design and conduct experiments, perform statistical inference, and write technical reports. These research activities rely on an adequate knowledge of applied statistics. The reader both builds on basic statistics skills and learns to apply it to applicable scenarios without over-emphasis on the technical aspects. Demonstrations are a very important part of this text. Mathematical expressions are exhibited only if they are defined or intuitively comprehensible.

This text may be used as a guidebook for applied researchers or as an introductory statistical methods textbook for students, not majoring in statistics. Discussion includes essential probability models, inference of means, proportions, correlations and regressions, methods for censored survival time data analysis, and sample size determination.

Rezensionen

"The book contains a good amount of demonstrations and avoids mathematical expressions except where necessary. Therefore, students who intend to apply statistics in their field of interest ... will definitely find this book useful. ... the book could be a handy guide for applied researchers." (Soubhik Chakraborty, Computing Reviews, July, 2015)
