This review is from: Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics with Student CD-Rom Mandatory Package (Hardcover)

This book is the best introductory to intermediate statistics textbook currently available.The authors do an excellent job of explaining how to go about doing statistics.The example problems are throughly worked out for the beginning student.All the steps needed to solve the various kinds of problems that a student will encounter in a statistics course are included.The notation used in the formulas is clear and straightforward.The treatment of p-values and multiple regression analysis is the best exposition to be found among current introductory/intermediate texts .I have taught 4-5,000 students statistics at the introductory,intermediate,and graduate level.I highly recommend this book for anyone taking an introductory to intermediate level course in statistics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Undergraduate Statistics book available, July 11, 2000

By

This review is from: Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics (Hardcover)

As an undergraduate and graduate statistics faculty, I have read and taught from many different statistics books (at least a dozen by a quick count). This book by Mason, et.al. is superior to all and far superior to many (including many texts used for graduate business statistics).

It is clearly written, well organized, and does not use up a lot of space with massive amounts of output from statistics packages that one will not use outside of the classroom.

I have recommended it many times to students as an alternate to the extant class textbook, for all of the graduate and undergraduate business statistics classes that I teach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly the best for undergraduate students, July 30, 2000

By 

James Boyd (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics (Hardcover)

I have never been interested in reading a statistic textbook,simply because most of them are boring and totally confusing, but AIMR recommended this book as the official reading for year 1999.

When I have a copy of this book for my study, I was surprised. The book explains many statistic concepts in clear, plain English without many confusing terms. It describes the concepts step by steps, coupled with many interesting examples.

So far the best statistic textbook I've ever read. It is good for undergraduate, but I believe it is good for graduate students too.
