An essential introduction to statistics for students of psychology
and the social sciences Statistical thinking is increasingly
essential to understanding our complex world and making informed
decisions based on uncertain data. This incisive undergraduate
textbook introduces students to the main ideas of statistics in a
way that focuses on deep comprehension rather than rote application
or mathematical immersion. The presentation of statistical concepts
is thoroughly modern, sharing cutting-edge ideas from the fields of
machine learning and data science that help students effectively
use statistical methods to ask questions about data. Statistical
Thinking provides the tools to describe complex patterns that
emerge from data and to make accurate predictions and decisions
based on data. Introduces statistics from a uniquely modern
standpoint, helping students to use the basic ideas of statistics
to analyze real data Presents a model of statistics that ties
together a broad range of statistical techniques that can be used
to answer many different kinds of questions Explains how to use
statistics to generate reproducible findings and avoid common
mistakes in statistical practice Includes a wealth of examples
using real-world data Accompanied by computer code in R and in
Python—freely available online—that enables students to see how
each example is generated and to code their own analyses
