Statistics for the rest of us A very helpful book, both to read and as a quick reference for those of us who are math impaired. Reccomended to myself by a nursing professor. | ||
best statistics book I've known I have a couple of other fat, authoratative biostats books but PDQ is my reference of choice. If you want to understand biostats, you can't lose with this clever concise text. | ||
Not a bad book... I must begin by stating that I didn't receive the book until the week of my exam. :( So, obviously I was not reliant on it. The book is small enough to be "not so" intimidating. It has relevant formulas and explanations to give one the gist of stats needed to pass a biostats class. My opinion of the book may have been better had the product arrived sooner. | ||
Pdq Statistics (PDQ Series) In these times, you can't walk in the streets without hear or read some statistics, in the paper, in the market or everywhere. This is the book not only for a biomedical student, is a book for anyone interested in know what is statistics about. The politicians and doctor can lie with statistics, but with the knowledge from this book, you can see beyond. The use of examples is extensive, and some of them are hilarious. It's a book very concise, informative and, the best of all, funny. | ||
In a class of its own! This book is the only statistics book of its type. For each section covering a specific statistical method (from simple methods to those you may not even cover in your PhD training), a concise 2-5 page summary is presented. The goal is not to enable the reader to calculate any of these statistics, but to understand conceptually what each statistic means. This is where it can fill in information other statistics texts never get to. A student (or researcher!) who can churn out factorial ANOVA results, but doesn't truly understand what they mean can turn to this book for clarity. It's simple (for statistics), it's short, it's clear, and you have to love a book that is dedicated "To the many people who have made this book both possible and necessary -- authors of other statistics books"! | ||
