| Short description
Not even the most brilliant statistician can instantly recall every rule and concept that forms the daily bread of statistical work. Sensibly organized for quick reference, Statistical Rules of Thumb, Second Edition compiles simple rules that are widely applicable, robust, and elegant, and that capture key statistical concepts. This handbook provides a framework for considering statistical questions and explains the justification for each rule. This second edition is thoroughly updated to provide the most current tool for undergraduate and graduate-level students, applied statisticians, and statistical consultants.
