 Introduction to the Practice of StatisticsThird Edition David S. Moore and George P. McCabe ISBN 0-7167-3502-4 Moore and McCabe's textbook revolutionized the introductory statistics course by emphasizing the reasons for, and the reasoning behind statistics--rather than confining students to lengthy calculations and hard-to-grasp probability theory. With this data analysis approach, students learn to approach problems the same way professional statisticians do. |
 The Basic Practice of StatisticsSecond Edition David S. Moore ISBN 0-7167-2628-9 David Moore's The Basic Practice of Statistics is a supremely concise (under 500 pages) introduction to the nuts and bolts of "real live" statistics. Designed for students in one-term courses who've had limited exposure to mathematics, it is remarkably concise, thoroughly engaging, and full of pedagogical innovation. |
 Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis for the Behavioral SciencesFirst Edition Robert S. Lockhart ISBN 0-7167-2974-1 In Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences, Bob Lackhart emphasizes the link between statistical techniques and scientific discovery by focusing on evaluation and comparison of models. By emphasizing confidence intervals and model comparison (as oppposed to null hypothesis significance testing), Lockhart provides students with a more intuitive approach to the material. He underscores this intuitive view of statistics by presenting all methods as variants on a basic theme (evaluating models) that culminate in a final review chapter. Throughout this presentation, Lockhart enables students to examine and question the methods and goals of statistics and draw a firm connection betwene statistical methods and the research process. In additon, students are exposed to a more realistic reflection of the current practice of statistics today as well as the importance of its role in science and research. |
 The Practice of StatisticsFirst Edition Dan Yates, David S. Moore, and George P. McCabe ISBN 0-7167-3370-6 The Practice of Statistics takes the classic features of David S. Moore's The Basic Practice of Statistics and Moore and George P. McCabe's Introduction to the Practice of Statistics and shapes the material to directly reflect the College Board course description for Advanced Placement Statistics, with an emphasis on using the TI-83 graphing calculator. This text can also be used at the college level. |
