Editorial Reviews
Review
A scan of the titles in the data structure index or the keywords in the subject index is a visit to an exotic bazaar, laden with fascinating trinkets from the storehouse of human curiosity and ingenuity. I cannot wait to use the book in my teaching.
-Short Book Reviews
Statistics teachers often want a set of illustrative data and may resort to inventing an artificial data set. There is no longer any need to do this!...I suspect that me teachers will want to have their own copy of this book and there should certainly be a copy available in your library.
- Journal of the Royal Statistical Society
Summing up, the Handbook of Small Data Sets is most welcome from a teaching as well as computational statistics point of view. The authors have to be congratulated on their idea and their effort to produce this volume and data disk. Also, the layout of the book is very satisfying. It should be on the shelf of most of us.

4.0 out of 5 stars
No CD, but still useful.,
By Ms. Bowser "hy" (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Handbook of Small Data Sets (Chapman & Hall Statistics Text) (Hardcover)
The Table of Contents includes an entry on "Using the Disk." There was no disk with the book, and no evidence that one had ever been in the covers. Also, Amazon did not directly advertise the book with a CD, and as I would have to return it to get a new book, I don't want the hassle. I would also regret it if the book were not replaced. The book is as listed--it has loads of tables, from simple to complex. I like to present my science students with data and ask them to analyze it for various purposes. Having ready sets of data on any number of subjects broadens my teaching, and lightens my load. I was researching through scholarly articles of topic interest and using the tables and charts that best applied to my needs. But this wasn't always a sure bet and was time costly. I am happy with the book. It was a big investment, but I am hoping to get the best out of it in increasing my students' number sense and logic.
Update: I emailed the publisher and got a link to download the data...perfect! Now I'm 5-star happy!
