Stimulate learning through discovery With its emphasis on the discovery method, this book allows readers to discover solutions on their own rather than simply copy answers or apply a formula by rote. Readers will quickly master and learn to apply statistical methods, such as bootstrap, decision trees, and permutations, to better characterize, report, test, and classify their research findings. In addition to traditional methods, specialized methods are covered, allowing readers to select and apply the most effective method for their research, including: Tests and estimation procedures for one, two, and multiple samples Model building Multivariate analysis Complex experimental design Throughout the text, the R programming language is used to illustrate new concepts and assist readers in completing exercises. Readers may download the freely available R programming language from the Internet or take advantage of the menu-driven S-PLUS® program. Written in an informal, highly accessible style, this text is an excellent guide to descriptive statistics, estimation, testing hypotheses, and model building. All the pedagogical tools needed to facilitate quick learning are provided: More than two hundred exercises scattered throughout the text stimulate readers' thinking and actively engage them in applying their newfound skills Companion FTP site provides access to all data sets and programs discussed in the text Dozens of thought-provoking questions in the final chapter, Problem Solving, assist readers in applying statistics to address real-life problems Instructor's manual provides answers to exercises Helpful appendices include an introduction to S-PLUS® features This text serves as an excellent introduction to statistics for students in all disciplines. The accessible style and focus on real-life problem solving are perfectly suited for both students and practitioners.

A highly accessible alternative approach to basic statistics Praise for the First Edition: "Certainly one of the most impressive little paperback 200-page introductory statistics books that I will ever see . . . it would make a good nightstand book for every statistician."—Technometrics Written in a highly accessible style, Introduction to Statistics through Resampling Methods and R, Second Edition guides students in the understanding of descriptive statistics, estimation, hypothesis testing, and model building. The book emphasizes the discovery method, enabling readers to ascertain solutions on their own rather than simply copy answers or apply a formula by rote.

This set contains: 9780471794318 Common Errors in Statistics(and How to Avoid Them), Second Edition by Phillip I. Good, James W. Hardin and 9780471715757 Introduction to Statistics Through Resampling Methods and R/S-Plus by Phillip I. Good.

Mathematical Statistics with Resampling and R This thoroughly updated third edition combines the latest software applications with the benefits of modern resampling techniques Resampling helps students understand the meaning of sampling distributions, sampling variability, P-values, hypothesis tests, and confidence intervals. The third edition of Mathematical Statistics with Resampling and R combines modern resampling techniques and mathematical statistics. This book is classroom-tested to ensure an accessible presentation, and uses the powerful and flexible computer language R for data analysis. This book introduces permutation tests and bootstrap methods to motivate classical inference methods, as well as to be utilized as useful tools in their own right when classical methods are inaccurate or unavailable. The book strikes a balance between simulation, computing, theory, data, and applications. Throughout the book, new and updated case studies representing a diverse range of subjects, such as flight delays, birth weights of babies, U.S. demographics, views on sociological issues, and problems at Google and Instacart, illustrate the relevance of mathematical statistics to real-world applications. Changes and additions to the third edition include: New and updated case studies that incorporate contemporary subjects like COVID-19 Several new sections, including introductory material on causal models and regression methods for causal modeling in practice Modern terminology distinguishing statistical discernibility and practical importance New exercises and examples, data sets, and R code, using dplyr and ggplot2 A complete instructor’s solutions manual A new github site that contains code, data sets, additional topics, and instructor resources Mathematical Statistics with Resampling and R is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematical statistics courses, as well as practitioners and researchers looking to expand their toolkit of resampling and classical techniques.
