Statistics: Principles and Methods

by Richard A. Johnson

Covering the basic concepts and methods of statistics, each chapter begins with a practical motivation for the topics and concludes with a summary of key ideas and formulas. It gives careful attention in explaining the statistical model which underlies the use of a particular method of analysis. Along with an appreciation of the role of modern computers in data analysis, it offers excellent intuitive explanations without symbols or formulas; edifying motivation with citations of classical studies and historical anecdotes; and extensive discussions of numerous, interesting and stimulating examples.
