TEXTS IN STATISTICS INTUITIVE INTRODUCTORY ST...

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  classical methodology 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 that uses exercises  computer analyses  and simulations throughout
the core lessons. These elementary statistical methods are intuitive. Counting and ranking
features prominently in the text. Nonparametric methods  for instance  are often based on
counts and ranks and are very easy to integrate into an introductory course. The ease of
computation with advanced calculators and statistical software  both of which factor into this
text  allows important techniques to be introduced earlier in the study of statistics. This
book's novel scope also includes measuring symmetry with Walsh averages  finding a
nonparametric regression line  jackknifing  and bootstrapping . 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.
