Rezensionen

"This book cuts to the very heart of the core principles of statistical inference and does so in a way that is accessible and easily digestible. I honestly wish a book like this one had existed when I was a student - I would have clutched it hard and never let it go!" -- Dr. Ruth Horry, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Swansea University, UK

"I see this book as a very useful resource, not only for those who have just started their journey at the university, but also for senior students to experience "aha!" moments while recapping the basics from a unique and nicely presented perspective. I am looking forward to recommending this book to my students as soon as it is available." -- Dr. Krzysztof Cipora, Lecturer in Mathematical Cognition, Loughborough University, UK

"As a new graduate student, I was suddenly faced with academic papers presenting statistical methods. But with hardly any statistical understanding myself, I struggled to do this well. I longed for a book that I could easily refer back to. This is that book. The explanations are very accessible, the examples are relatable, and the book is concise. I thoroughly recommend it." -- Jennifer Read, Graduate Student in Education, University of Derby, UK

"If you want to understand why we use statistics in psychology, this is the book for you!" -- Dawn Short, Ph.D. student in Psychology, Abertay University, UK

"This is an accessible and helpful educational tool that students with a variety of backgrounds will enjoy. The author incorporates clear examples and is able to frame advanced concepts in a simple and straightforward way." -- Dr. Dawn Weatherford, Associate Professor of Psychology, Texas A&M University - San Antonio, USA
