 Making statistics easier October 16, 2008

It seemed the author in an attempt to make statistics easier, made it more difficult. Also, my professor does not like the book, and is forced by the universoty to put it on the syllabus and recommended. Also, very few exrcises to work from and practice.
Do not buy this book, not worth the money or time.
 good book June 16, 2008

This book is a good but it truly does not cover biostatistics as well as Clinical Epidemiology by Fletcher or Designing Clinical Research by Stephen Hulley. I think that the other two books are a better buy for your buck. This book is well written but very specific in whom it will appeal to--namely those users who need assistance in the use of the computerized statistical packages.

This text is easy to read, easy to understand and therefore not intimidating as far as Stats Texbooks go.
