Statistical Rules of Thumb by Gerald Van Belle

Statistical Rules of Thumb by Gerald Van Belle

Not even the most brilliant statistician can instantly recall every rule and concept that forms the daily bread of statistical work. Sensibly organized for quick reference, Statistical Rules of Thumb, Second Edition compiles simple rules that are widely applicable, robust, and elegant, and that capture key statistical concepts.

?This is a unique and effective contributionUnlike some statistical books, this is a truly enjoyable read.? (Doody?s Reviews)

"For the applied researcher who does much of her or his own data analysis, this book is a must-have. Even the applied statistician would benefit from owning a copy of this collection. It is certain that some 'rules' will be new, and the descriptions in the text can come in quite handy when one i trying to explain a concept to a non-statistician. In short, this collection of 'rules' is highly recommended." (MAA Reviews, December 10, 2008)
