Reviews
From the reviews:
“This slender volume … covers the basics of probability, estimation, hypothesis testing, and regression. The book would be a good refresher for someone with a basic background in statistics … . Overall, this is a very nice presentation of fundamental statistical methods for basic research. The writing is clear, and the mathematical presentation is careful and accurate. … Kaltenbach’s book will … be a good addition to the bookshelves of statistics students. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates.” (R. L. Pour, Choice, Vol. 49 (11), July, 2012)
