Learn Statistics Without Fear!

Build a solid foundation in data analysis. Be confident that you understand what your data are telling you and that you can explain the results to others! I'll help you intuitively understand statistics by using simple language and deemphasizing formulas.

This guide starts with an overview of statistics and why it is so important. We proceed to essential statistical skills and knowledge about different types of data, relationships, and distributions. Then we move to using inferential statistics to expand human knowledge, how it fits into the scientific method, and how to design and critique experiments.

Learn the fundamentals of statistics.

Why is the field of statistics so vital in our data-driven society?
Interpret graphs and summary statistics.
Find relationships between different types of variables.
Understand the properties of data distributions.
Use measures of central tendency and variability.
Interpret correlations and percentiles.
Use probability distributions to calculate probabilities.
Learn about the normal and binomial distributions in depth.
Grasp the differences between descriptive and inferential statistics.
Use data collection methodologies properly and understand sample size considerations.
Design and critique scientific experiments—whether it's your own or another researcher's.
Free access to downloadable datasets to follow along with the examples.

Focus on concepts and practices to perform analysis and correctly interpret results

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2022

Found Mr. Jim Frost’s incredibly helpful blog first, then discovered he has also published books for further understanding. Well-written for the novice or advanced reader interested in statistics, hypothesis testing, analyzing data, other. Arranged so your choice of statistical software can be used to handle the calculations (equations can be found in most textbooks if desired), you get right into learning concepts and practices needed to know how to perform the analysis and interpret results correctly.

Fantastic, Friendly, Useful Statistics Book

Love the author's style of writing. He's a famous Stats blogger at statisticsbyhim.com and his writing is super friendly, easy to read, easy to understand, and enjoyable, which is all quite impressive for the topic of Statistics. This book is a blend of what you learn in the classroom and what you use in practice. As a Stats teacher, I find it immensely helpful. It's also a great book for students and those in industry. Highly recommend!

Physical book quaility awful!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

The copy I received is literally falling apart. Before I got to the end of the 1st chapter 3 pages had fallen out. Just glancing at chapter 2 two more pages fell out. Looks like this is going to continue through the entire book. The definition of a book is pretty much that it has bound pages. This one is awful in that regard. It loose leave paper suck in a cover.

2 days beyond return or replacement when I started readying so Amazon zero help.

Personally, it will be a good reference to always have available. Wish I had this available earlier in my education. Packed with goodies for those not being or wanting to be professional statisticians.

I am so excited about this book.
It is easy to read. The author uses plain English and gives a lot of examples.
I think this book helps me:
1) to order knowledge
and
2) to find out something new
without stress.

I would like to have a color version. :)

A wonderful introduction to Statistics and more

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on April 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

The book deals with the essence of Statistics explaing the basic concepts and the mental processes behind the analysis and interpretation of data. It goes deeper on the meaning of statistical analysis and how Statistics works. All of this in a simple, intuitive way, woth no mathematics. It is an introduction. But the book goes further on, giving the opportunity to learn the basis of research and the experimental designs, again with a very simple yet effective description and explanation. This book is the basis for the absolute beginner before jumping into more sofisticated textbooks.
