An OK overview of statistics. It lacks depth in some areas where I'd like, and the examples to provide clarity are often too simple. However, for the engineer, this seems to cover all the bases.

Pretty good intro/mid-level statistics book. Not proof heavy (at times to its detriment), but contains a lot of examples and applications of the various topics. Overall, if you're starting with stats or have an introductory-level understanding of them, this is a pretty solid resource.

I found the section on non-parametric methods to be especially well written- great examples and great explanation.
