- Synopsis
- Doing statistics for the first time? Don't panic says Professor Fred Coolidge. In Statistics: A Gentle Introduction, Second Edition, he shows how statistics needn't be difficult or dull. Dr. Coolidge likens the role of a statistician to that of a curious detective, an honest attorney, and a good storyteller. He minimizes the use of formulas, but provides a step-by-step approach to their solution, and includes a glossary of key terms, symbols, and definitions at the end of each chapter. Every chapter also includes a short story about historical and contemporary statisticians who figured prominently in the evolution of the discipline of statistics. This second edition includes specific suggestions as to the detection of baloney, that is, fraudulent claims and questionable studies.
