5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for MSF, MBA and Undergraduate Students, June 5, 2004

By A Customer

I used the first edition this book teaching financial econometrics at a university in Boston. The text is an excellent beginning book in statistics at the undergraduate and the MBA and MSF levels.

For my advanced students I covered the chapters on analysis of variance and chi-square tests, simple regression analysis and correlation coefficent, multiple regression analysis, other topics in applied regression analysis, nonparametric statistics and time series analysis including forecasting.

The statistical theories showed the mathematical derivations, often in appendices, yet included easy to follow numerical examples which students appreciated very much. The first edition was one of the first statistics books with particular attention paid to appllications using corporate finance, investment and banking data.

The only shortcomings dealt with typographical errors found in several places, and solution errors in the accompanying instructors' manual.

Overall, an excellent statistics book for the first-timer and a worthy addition to the library of a specialist, especially one with a financial perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good text book., September 23, 2008

The authors do a very good job for writing this book, especially for some students who don't really have mathematical background. It's very easy to understand what is the authors purpose. I recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars a fairly easy book, July 11, 2000

By A Customer

Hi,

When I try to look into the table contents of this book, I found it is for beginners of statistics only. Unless you are entry level of this area, I suggest you to buy some other books together.
