Hi Isaac,
Sometimes the problem in teaching statistics is to find a text at the right level of complexity and mathematics.
Dr Tony Bastick has a simple and basic guide 'Research: New and Practical Approaches'. I found it useful with some design research students.
For those who don't know Tony Bastick, he also wrote a seminal analysis on Intuition. His classic text is 'Intuition: How we Thing and Act' (still used as a reference text in Psychology). He followed it with an updated version for designers and the creative arts: 'Intuition: Evaluating the Construct and its Impact on Creative Thinking'
To get an idea of Tony's research thoroughness. His PhD thesis at Brunel Uni investigating Intuitive Though Processes was 1536 pages over 6 volumes! (I hope the examiners were paid per volume!)
Disclosure - I wrote the foreword on 'Intuition: Evaluating the Construct and its Impact on Creative Thinking'. I like Tony's work and think it a good keystone reference for many aspects of design theory.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Terry

Subject: statistics in design research
hi
does anyone know of any reliable resources to teach statistics to designers or architects? core statistics seem daunting to introduce. there is also its applicability how statistics can be useful in design research?
for research methodologies, social sciences are taken as benchmarks. can, therefore, books on statistics for social sciences be considered sufficient or is there some directed design specific readings or references available?
mostly a build off from the ongoing research methods discussion, is there any work done on what kind of statistical frames can be applied during design research?
thanks and regards
