An Introduction to Statistical Methods and Data Analysis 7th Edition

The book arrived on time, in the condition advertised.

This book happened me really understand statistics on a much deeper and fundamental level that my college stats professor did. It has equation summaries that gives you all of the equations you need and is packed full of examples and statistical real world analysis. Would highly recommend, especially if your professor leaves you feeling lost. Helped me get an A in statistics.

It arrived quickly and was in good condition.

Explanations are lucid and a high quality reference. I had an earlier version and really enjoying reading this updated version. It has R code and very insightful, clear examples how to apply Bayes' formula. I highly recommend as a reference.

This book worked very well for me, but it may also have to do with how the professor taught the course, which aligned very well with material in the book.

I usually do not write negative comments because I tend to accept things the way they are and, rather than criticizing, I try to grow up to the tasks. But in this case, I must caution everybody who is considering buying this book: this is far THE WORST statistics text EVER!!! Just stay away from it. Besides being absolutely confusing and not explaining anything at all, it uses an unintelligible language, and you will find VERY MISLEADING errors on every single page. Literally, even the solutions at the end of the book are full of mistakes which is rather unfortunate if your aim is to check the correctness of your work. But you do not need to get to the end of the book. Errors are all over the place in it. Truly, this is a pathetic intent to write a stats book. I am sorry for the authors. They may be fantastic statisticians but are the worst teacher-authors I have ever met.

This tome is complete, but it should be condensed. Many times I felt like the concepts should take only a few pages to flesh-out, but the authors seem to take pleasure in burying you with example after example and redundant exposition. Maybe some people like this form, but not me.

Honestly, just needed this for class, so I'm not gonna say much from a statistics perspective. Came as ordered and the book is nice. Really thorough.
