5.0 out of 5 stars It got me through Econometrics, January 25, 2002

By 

James Santangelo "CromsFury" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Statistics and Econometrics (Paperback)

This was an extremely useful book for the understanding of Statistics and Econometrics. Each topic had examples to show how the formulas work. The computer chapter went over the programming in SAS, Excel, and Eviews for the problems in the book. Best of all, the problems had answers. This is a must-have for beginning statistics and econometrics since it starts from scratch, and for theory students in search of an application.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Statistics and Econometrics (Paperback)

This is an extremely useful book for review or as an adjunct to a conventional, mathematically dense econometrics text. The author writes in a lucid style that makes difficult ideas easy to understand. He makes liberal use of informative graphs and tables, and he includes numerous examples to clarify the explanations. If I encountered an econometric concept or procedure that simply defied understanding, this book would be the first place I'd turn for clarification. The author is blessed with the gift of succinctness: he says a great deal of substantive importance using very few words, and the words he chooses are just the right ones to help the reader understand what's going on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent supplement to Damodar Gujrati, May 2, 2010

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Statistics and Econometrics (Paperback)

As a student of Econometrics, I really liked the book by Damodar Gujrati though I feel that book has too few examples and is rather verbose. This book by Schaums could be an excellent supplement to Gujrati. The book covers basics for any student of Stats. Great price, nice examples.
