Former correspondent for The Economist, current columnist for Yahoo!, and professor at the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago, Charles Wheelan lives in Chicago with his family.
The field of statistics is rapidly transforming into a discipline that Hal Varian at Google has called "sexy". And with good reason - from batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research - the real-world application of statistics is growing by leaps and bounds. In Naked Statistics, Charles Wheelan strips away the arcane and technical details to get at the underlying intuition that is key to understanding the power of statistical concepts. Tackling a wide-ranging set of problems, he demonstrates how statistics can be used to look at questions that are important and relevant to us today. With the trademark wit, accessibility and fun that made Naked Economics a bestseller, Wheelan brings another essential discipline to life with a one-in-a-million statistics book that you will read for pleasure.
这是一本很适合我的统计学入门书本。研究生的专业是数据挖掘,常常要用到一些统计的知识,但是由于当时急功近利的不求甚解,只求知道怎么用,不想深究为何用,以至于在这个崇尚大数据的时代,让我不能长时间地深入地全面地忽悠他人。哎,黑发不知勤学早,信口方悔读书迟!...
评分一、概述 二、描述统计学 【描述性数据】将【原始数据】通过某种形式浓缩成一个有意义的统计量。但是任何一种简化都会面临被滥用的危险。 【平均数】容易受到远离中心区域的异常值干扰而失真(论收入,我们都容易被马云平均) 【中位数】对异常值不敏感,能够更准确地反映问题...
评分Truly impressive book explaining some of the most important statistics concepts without any mathematical equations, yet delivering the punch line so clearly! Wheelan walks the reader through grand statistics tour, covering topics such as the central limit t...
评分其实,除了“纯文科”学生,现在几乎所有大学毕业生都应该学过统计学。理工科的教材是“概率与数理统计”,通常比统计学更抽象、更数学一些。而且我最近发现,好像美国中学生就要学一点统计学。所以,这类统计科普书注定会遭到鄙视,因为如果只看它们讲述的内容难度,我认为连...

似乎过于简单,这是我挑书不好。不过小作者自认为幽默的废话太多啦,还时常一刷就是好几行。
评分喜欢,内容对学霸来说可能太浅显,不过重点在如何正确诠释数据,尤其几个偏见的分析,简直是绝杀微信民科利器。还有波士顿国际香肠节的例子,很有画面感。
评分每个人都应该了解的统计概念(可惜大学的老师不能这样教我们)
评分例子还不错,学过理论的可以帮助理解,没学过的,还是不能拿他当教科书呢。
