All the standard topics, such as probability, estimation, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression, are discussed. The discussion is short, to the point, readable, and reliable. In addition, there are the more 'advanced' topics of logistic regression, survival analysis, longitudinal data analysis, and multivariate analysis, thus providing the reader with a short introduction to a wide array of the methods in the statistical arsenal without getting bogged down in detail. ... a brief, but good, introduction to statistics. ... excellen.
