Statistics: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

著者 : David J.Hand

• Oxford Univ Pr (2008年12月15日発売)

作品紹介・あらすじ

Modern statistics is very different from the dry and dusty discipline of the popular imagination. In its place is an exciting subject which uses deep theory and powerful software tools to shed light and enable understanding. And it sheds this light on all aspects of our lives, enabling astronomers to explore the origins of the universe, archaeologists to investigate ancient civilisations, governments to understand how to benefit and improve society, and businesses to learn how best to provide goods and services. Aimed at readers with no prior mathematical knowledge, this Very Short Introduction explores and explains how statistics work, and how we can decipher them. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

[Daiさんの感想 · 2021年9月20日]

一章さえ読了ならず。使用された構文は平易なものの、英単語は使い慣れないものが多い。統計学の有用性をあの手この手で説明しているものの、学者特有の「ねちっこい」表現となっており、面白さに欠ける。
英語の文章を全くストレス無く読め、かつ学術的な書籍を頻繁に読む人なら読了出来ると思われる。私には今は無理。
