FW: Statistics for the Terrified - circulation request ----- Original Message ----- From: Macfarlane, Alison To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 10:29 AM Subject: FW: Statistics for the Terrified - circulation request I have been asked to forward this to the list. Statistics for the Terrified v5.0 now available The new version of Statistics for the Terrified is now out, with a lot of extra material including new chapters on probability and on graphical data description, an expanded chapter on hypothesis testing, new material on time series, Q and A from a virtual class, printing from any page, and improvements throughout. An optional Analysis module is also available, enabling students to analyse their own data without the need to learn the more heavy-duty statistical analysis software. Statistics for the Terrified was first developed in 1993 at St Barts Medical College and then St George's Hospital Medical School before it moved into the private sector in 1996. In 2000, version 4.0 was commended by the BMA. Statistical concepts and techniques are presented in a commonsense way, avoiding the heavy maths which tends to creep in elsewhere, and is frequently used as a basic underpinning to other teaching and textbooks. It is particularly popular with both teachers and students whose primary interest is in using statistics as a tool, rather than following it as a discipline, and with student groups who do not have a mathematical background.
