If you're looking for a clear, easy to understand work, this is not for you. It seems the author fluctuates between writing for a population that is well versed in statistical understanding, to one that is just learning concepts and terms. The reader ends up being tossed around with too much information at times, and at other times too little information. There are many, many better works on these topics.

I am using the book now for my graduate MBA level Stats class and it is far from easy to understand. The text is difficult to read and equations are not adequately explained.

The CD which is included would be great, but you can't use it if you have Vista as your operating system. I ended up having to install trials of the software, which have expired and my class is not over.

I do not recommend this text for anyone who truly wants to delve into the material. With this book, you won't be able to do so.

There is supposed to be a voucher for the online/downloadable version included. This is missing. O'Reilly knows about this problem: see information at [...]to get the required code (haven't received it yet, but only recently requested it).
