This comprehensive, flexible text is used in both one- and two-semester courses to review introductory through intermediate statistics. Instructors select the topics that are most appropriate for their course. Its conceptual approach helps students more easily understand the concepts and interpret SPSS and research results. Key concepts are simply stated and occasionally reintroduced and related to one another for reinforcement. Numerous examples demonstrate their relevance. This edition features more explanation to increase understanding of the concepts. Only crucial equations are included. In addition to updating throughout, the new edition features: New co-author, Debbie L. Hahs-Vaughn, the 2007 recipient of the University of Central Florida's College of Education Excellence in Graduate Teaching Award. A new chapter on logistic regression models for today's more complex methodologies. More on computing confidence intervals and conducting power analyses using G*Power. Many more SPSS screenshots to assist with understanding how to navigate SPSS and annotated SPSS output to assist in the interpretation of results. Extended sections on how to write-up statistical results in APA format. New learning tools including chapter-opening vignettes, outlines, and a list of key concepts, many more examples, tables, and figures, boxes, and chapter summaries. More tables of assumptions and the effects of their violation including how to test them in SPSS. 33% new conceptual, computational, and all new interpretative problems. A website that features PowerPoint slides, answers to the even-numbered problems, and test items for instructors, and for students the chapter outlines, key concepts, and datasets that can be used in SPSS and other packages, and more. Each chapter begins with an outline, a list of key concepts, and a vignette related to those concepts. Realistic examples from education and the behavioral sciences illustrate those concepts. Each example examines the procedures and assumptions and provides instructions for how to run SPSS, including annotated output, and tips to develop an APA style write-up. Useful tables of assumptions and the effects of their violation are included, along with how to test assumptions in SPSS. 'Stop and Think' boxes provide helpful tips for better understanding the concepts. Each chapter includes computational, conceptual, and interpretive problems. The data sets used in the examples and problems are provided on the web. Answers to the odd-numbered problems are given in the book. The first five chapters review descriptive statistics including ways of representing data graphically, statistical measures, the normal distribution, and probability and sampling. The remainder of the text covers inferential statistics involving means, proportions, variances, and correlations, basic and advanced analysis of variance and regression models. Topics not dealt with in other texts such as robust methods, multiple comparison and nonparametric procedures, and advanced ANOVA and multiple and logistic regression models are also reviewed. Intended for one- or two-semester courses in statistics taught in education and/or the behavioral sciences at the graduate and/or advanced undergraduate level, knowledge of statistics is not a prerequisite. A rudimentary knowledge of algebra is required.

我必须承认,我对这本书的某些哲学取向持保留意见。作者明显偏向于频率学派的统计思想,并对某些现代的、基于模拟的统计方法持谨慎甚至略带轻蔑的态度。例如,在讨论模型拟合优度时,对AIC和BIC的介绍显得非常传统和保守,对于诸如蒙特卡洛模拟方法的强大能力,着墨不多,甚至给人的感觉有些“过时”了。这使得这本书的视野似乎被限制在了二十世纪中叶的经典统计框架内。这对于想要接触前沿数据科学和机器学习的读者来说,会是一个明显的知识断层。我希望它能用更开放的心态去接纳新的统计范式,比如对重采样技术(Resampling Techniques)的介绍,如果能更深入、更积极地探讨其在现代计算统计中的地位,这本书的价值将大大提升。它更像是一部对经典统计学的庄严致敬,而不是对未来统计学可能走向的积极探索。
评分这本《An Introduction to Statistical Concepts》的阅读体验,怎么说呢,就像是走进了一座堆满了各种精密仪器的老式图书馆。书中的理论阐述非常扎实,每一个统计学概念的引入都像是精心打磨的齿轮,严丝合缝地咬合在一起。作者在讲解方差分析(ANOVA)的部分,简直是把复杂的计算过程拆解成了可以被任何人理解的步骤。我尤其欣赏它在引入中心极限定理时所使用的类比,那种将抽象概念具象化的能力,确实高明。举个例子,它用一个生动的、关于掷骰子的场景来解释大样本均值的分布,而不是仅仅抛出一堆公式。对于初学者来说,这本书提供了极其坚实的基础骨架,让你明白“为什么”要用某种方法,而不仅仅是“怎么”去计算。当然,对于那些已经对回归分析非常熟悉的读者,某些章节可能会显得略微详尽,但正是这种详尽,确保了即便是基础薄弱的读者,也能稳稳地站住脚跟。这本书更像是一位耐心的导师,一步步引导你穿越统计学的迷雾,而不是给你一份快速上手的操作手册。它要求你思考,要求你理解背后的逻辑,而不是简单地套用公式。
评分说实话,我期待这本书能在应用层面上更进一步,但总的来说,它绝对是严谨学术的典范。当我翻到关于贝叶斯推断的那一章时,我立刻感受到了那种严谨到近乎苛刻的数学推导美感。作者没有丝毫含糊,对先验分布和后验分布的讨论深入骨髓,对于条件概率的理解进行了极高层次的升华。但问题在于,这种极致的学术性,使得这本书在连接实际商业案例时略显生硬。比如,它在讲解时间序列分析时,给出的例子都是教科书式的完美数据,完全没有现实世界中那些恼人的缺失值和异常点。我尝试将书中学到的模型结构应用到我最近处理的一个市场调研数据集中,发现自己不得不花大量时间去“翻译”书本上的理论框架,以适应真实数据的“粗糙”本质。这本书更像是为你打造了一套顶级的、理论上无懈可击的理论工具箱,但如果你想用它去修理一辆生锈的旧车,你可能还需要再去买一些额外的、更实用的工具。对于那些需要立即解决实际问题的人来说,可能需要配合其他更侧重案例分析的书籍来阅读。
评分这本书最让我感到惊喜的,是其对统计思维培养的潜移默化影响。它不仅仅是教你公式,它是在雕刻你的逻辑结构。作者在每一章的末尾设置的“批判性思考”环节,常常让我停下来,反思自己是如何看待数据和不确定性的。例如,在讨论如何选择合适的检验方法时,它反复强调“数据背后的实验设计”才是决定一切的关键,这远比仅仅记住t检验和卡方检验的区别重要得多。我发现,在读完这本书后,我在阅读其他领域的报告或研究论文时,会不自觉地去审视他们的方法论是否站得住脚,他们对“显著性”的解读是否过于武断。这种内化了的批判精神,是我从这本书中获得的最大财富,也是最难量化的价值。它成功地将“统计学”从一门纯粹的数学分支,提升到了“科学思维方式”的高度,这才是真正有深度的教材所应具备的品质。
评分这本书的排版和阅读流畅性,绝对是业界的一股清流,尤其是在处理大量图表和符号时,它的表现令人印象深刻。那种清晰到令人愉悦的页面布局,让长时间阅读也不容易产生视觉疲劳。特别是书中对于假设检验步骤的流程图设计,简直是教科书级别的示范。它们将零假设、备择假设的设定,到P值和临界值的比较过程,用简洁明了的图形语言完美呈现出来。我发现自己可以轻松地在不同章节之间进行跳转和交叉引用,而不会感到迷失方向。这种结构上的清晰度,极大地提高了学习效率,因为它减少了我在“找路”上花费的认知负荷。不过,虽然视觉体验一流,我个人希望它能在电子版上提供更强大的交互功能,比如点击公式能直接跳转到相关的定义或例题的解答,那样的话,体验就更加完美了。但就纸质书而言,它的工艺质量和内容的逻辑编排,无疑是顶尖水准,让人忍不住想收藏。
评分这一版我们的professor参与了编写,有些改动是看起来略微清楚些啦,但是增加的练习题都基本是重复的。觉得如果找找其他统计学课本,可能有编得更好一点的。
