Review

"This manuscript is the best tool we can use to teach MSW students statistics without overwhelming them with too much statistics and too few examples. This textbook is easy to follow, and the author explains statistics in a way (so) that even students who are most afraid of numbers will find statistics an interesting subject...I look forward to adoption the text upon publication." "When I teach statistics to my students, I often rely on chapters from multiple books to convey the material...Rubin's book, I believe, will fill a tremendous gap in terms of statistical needs for master's level students...Rubin's text provides, in one source, a comprehensive, well-written and organized guide to students through the maze of learning statistics without using 'over the top' or confusing examples..."
