 Double skinned knee ouch! July 8, 2008
If I didn't need it for a class...I would never have bought this.
It hurts my soft-science brain to read.
Repetitive and Insightful February 21, 2008
Neither negative or positive, this book provides a repetitive but insightful view to statistics in research and the importance of proper and careful calculation and distribution.

This book is written for PhD level students. It is not an easy read, even for someone who has had statistics before. I would not recommend this text to anyone except experienced statistics students.

A very well-written and helpful statistics book. It was required reading for a course in Quantitative Nursing Research last semester. Overall, the concepts such as t-tests, correlation and regression were explained in relatively simple terms. Examples with answers were found at the end of each chapter and the book came with a data disk. This was the most user-friendly statistics book that I have used so far!
 Great book March 14, 2000

I had a chance to review this book. I think the authors can make us much better understand, particularly one who is about to learn the concept of statistics. You can apply this book with the SPSS program in order to interpret the results. Anyway, I still like the calculation parts which are removed in this edition (3rd) compared with the last one. I think they can help someone, who is very interested in statistics, to understand better before go ahead to use the computer. It's a great book for the beginner.
