Introductory Statistics for Data Analysis

Ewens, Warren J., Brumberg, Katherine

商品描述

This book describes the probability theory associated with frequently used statistical procedures and the relation between probability theory and statistical inference. The first third of the book is dedicated to probability theory including topics relating to events, random variables, and the Central Limit Theorem. Statistical topics then include parameter estimation with confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, chi-square tests, t tests, and several non-parametric tests. Flow charts are frequently used to facilitate an understanding of the material considered. The examples and problems in the book all concern simple data sets which can be analyzed with a simple calculator; however, the R code required to complete many examples and problems is provided as well for those that are interested.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書描述了與常用統計程序相關的概率理論以及概率理論與統計推論之間的關係。書中的前三分之一專門介紹了概率理論,包括與事件、隨機變量和中心極限定理相關的主題。統計學的主題包括帶有置信區間的參數估計、假設檢驗、卡方檢驗、t檢驗和幾種非參數檢驗。流程圖經常用於幫助理解所考慮的材料。書中的例子和問題都涉及可以用簡單計算器分析的簡單數據集;然而,對於那些感興趣的人,書中還提供了完成許多例子和問題所需的R代碼。
