The use of statistics in biology, medicine, engineering, and the
sciences has grown dramatically in recent years and having a basic
background in the subject has become a near necessity for students
and researchers in these fields. Although many introductory
statistics books already exist, too often their focus leans towards
theory and few help readers gain effective experience in using a
standard statistical software package. Designed to be used in a
first course for graduate or upper-level undergraduate students,
Basic Statistical Methods and Models builds a practical foundation
in the use of statistical tools and imparts a clear understanding
of their underlying assumptions and limitations. Without getting
bogged down in proofs and derivations, thorough discussions help
readers understand why the stated methods and results are
reasonable. The use of the statistical software Minitab is
integrated throughout the book, giving readers valuable experience
with computer simulation and problem-solving techniques. The author
focuses on applications and the models appropriate to each problem
while emphasizing Monte Carlo methods, the Central Limit Theorem,
confidence intervals, and power functions. The text assumes that
readers have some degree of maturity in mathematics, but it does
not require the use of calculus. This, along with its very clear
explanations, generous number of exercises, and demonstrations of
the extensive uses of statistics in diverse areas applications make
Basic Statistical Methods and Models highly accessible to students
in a wide range of disciplines.
