Sinopsis

This textbook is designed to give an engaging introduction to statistics and the art of data analysis. The unique scope includes, but also goes beyond, classicalámethodology associated with the normal distribution. What if the normal model is not valid for a particular data set? This cutting-edge approach provides the alternatives. It is an introduction to the world and possibilities of statistics thatáusesáexercises, computer analyses, andásimulations throughout the core lessons. These elementary statistical methods areáintuitive.áCounting and ranking features prominently in the text.áNonparametric methods, for instance,áare often based on counts and ranks andáare very easy to integrate into an introductory course.âÇï The ease of computation with advanced calculators and statistical software, both of which factor into this text, allows important techniques to be introducedáearlier in the study of statistics. This bookâÇÖs novel scope alsoáincludes measuring symmetryáwith Walsh averages, finding a nonparametric regression line, jackknifing, andábootstrappingâÇï. Concepts and techniques are explored through practical problems. Quantitative reasoning is at the core of so many professions and academic disciplines, and this book opens the door to the most modern possibilities.
