5.0 out of 5 stars Related information, August 4, 2005

I'm the lead author. This document is useful for independent study, even without "The Practice of Business Statistics".

I believe that resampling (bootstrap and permutation tests) have a big future in statistics education, as a way to help students visualize and understand variability, standard errors, confidence intervals, and P-values, and as an alternative to the usual cookbook of formulas. This book is very strong on visualizing and light on formulas.

5.0 out of 5 stars great companion to any book on statistics, August 23, 2007

By	Michael R. Chernick "statman31147" (Holland PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tim Hesterberg has written a very nice chapter on resampling that is designed to be on the introductory level of the latest edition of the book "The Practice of Business Statistics". I think this a very well written chapter that covers even some of the more advanced topics such as the bootstrap tilted and the BCa confidence intervals. There are many very interesting examples that illustrate the range of applications of the methods and it is beautifully illustrated with some nice use of color graphics. I plan to use it as a companion to my text in some tutorials and web based courses that I am teaching on this topic.
