5.0 out of 5 stars Statistics made easy, January 22, 2003

This review is from: Statistical Methods for the Information Professional: A Practical, Painless Approach to Understanding, Using, and Interpreting Statistics (Asist Monograph Series) (Hardcover)

I always approach statistics and their applications with great trepidation, but this handbook really makes using and creating statistics easy.

The book is broken up into several kinds of statistical tests and explains the criteria needed for each test, as well as what the test can be used for. As an information professional, my need for statistics is very focused, and this book on statistics for knowledge workers weeds out extraneous information, as well as tests that are far too complicated for an amateur to interpret.

The author includes specific instructions for running statistical tests on Excel, as well as SSPS. She guides you through step by step analysis of your data, and manages to be very encouraging at the same time!

A great resource for your library.
