商品描述

This book offers a broad selection of statistical applications to everyday situations, illustrating how exciting and diverse statistical analysis can be. It covers a wide variety of topics, including offering hearing-impaired people the option to enjoy music, extracting meaningful quantitative data from texts, and modeling flood disasters to help get a better grip on them. Most of the examples are not typically found in textbooks but directly relate to real-life problems encountered by the "average person", including topics relevant for sustainable development.
Technical jargon and formalism have been avoided as much as possible, and a detailed statistical background is not assumed of the reader, making the book accessible to anyone interested in current research in statistical applications. Providing an unobscured look at a thoroughly fascinating science, it will help students to develop enthusiasm for statistical issues and methods, and may even inspire ideas for their own projects.

我們盡量避免使用技術術語和形式主義，並且不假設讀者具有詳細的統計背景，使得這本書對任何對統計應用的當前研究感興趣的人都是可接觸的。它提供了一個清晰的觀點，讓人深入了解這門極具吸引力的科學，它將幫助學生對統計問題和方法產生熱情，甚至可能激發他們自己的項目想法。
