In Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis, Bob Lockhart emphasizes the link between statistical techniques and scientific discovery by focusing on evaluation and comparison of models. It is an intuitive view of statistics that views all methods as variants on a basic theme (evaluating models). Lockhart's realistic approach enables students to examine and question the methods and goals of statistics and to draw clear connections between statistical methods and the research process.

Lockhart is a wonderful researcher, but he may have forgot how to organize content so that introductory students can follow his words. I would not recommend this book for intr classes.

3.0 out of 5 starsIntroductory!? This is not an introductory book!, March 10, 1999

This review is from: Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis For the Behavioral Sciences (Hardcover)
The book goes over the basic model building method of data analysis, but lacks the simplicity needed for an introductory course. The syntax and grammer was inappropriate for introductory level students. Use Sprinthall...that is an introductory text.
