I understand basic statistics and some of the more specialised areas like design of experiments and quality techniques pretty well. This volume has proved invaluable when trying to understand those areas I'm not familiar with such as PLS and non-parametric statistics. It provides well-written overviews of topics plus back-up theory for those who need to appreciate the mathematics in more detail. A powerful aid to understanding when using a propritary statistics package.

Well known in its online electronic form, this is an extremely useful statistics book, particularly if you're coming at it from a practical point of view.

I was first exposed to this text with the free web book put out by the publisher. It is great and easy to read with lots of links to look things up if you get a little lost. I would not use to learn statistics for the first time but it is a quick reference for people who need just a refresher from time to time.

I use the online version a lot so i knew I wanted to have print version as a desk reference when I can not get online. I was expecting this book to be good but honestly I expected the online to print transformation to lead to some weird layouts and gaps. Honestly that is not the case. The book is well formatted for print with good graphics for the type of book it is.
