About this title

Review

"This book is written in a clear and comprehensible way. Chapter by chapter the reader gets to know statistics from basic to more advanced level. ... There are descriptions and interpretations of statistical concepts and examples of experiments where they can be used. The authors also give the hint on the analysis of experiment. The book is very good lecture about statistics and I read it with a great interest." - Anna Szczepa“nska, Pozna“n University of Life Sciences, Poland, in International Statistical Review

"The authors do an exceptional job in covering important topics in a manner that is sophisticated, rigorous, and yet readily accessible. As in previous editions, the authors lay a solid foundation that allows the reader to easily generalize to situations beyond what is covered. The integrative chapters use real data to show how concepts interrelate – what a wonderful idea. The book continues to be a terrific text book for graduate students as well as a valuable resource book for more experienced researchers." – Edward J. O’Brien, University of New Hampshire, USA

"I love the "integrated analysis" chapters. They will allow students to practice their new skills, to think critically about data sets, and to learn to write results and discussion sections for papers." - Celia M. Klin, Binghamton University, USA

"The Myers & Well book is the best available book for a one-year graduate statistics sequence...I currently use the 2nd edition...I use it because it provides the best fit for the material I think needs to be covered ... and it is an outstanding reference that students should have." - William Levine, University of Arkansas, USA
