505 _gIntroduction
_tGetting things done in proportion : categorical data and percentages -- Why are we looking at data anyway? : populations and measurement -- What causes what? -- Modelling relationships using regression -- Algorithms, analytics and prediction -- How sure can we be about what is going on? : estimates and intervals -- Probability : the language of uncertainty and variability -- Putting probability and statistics together -- Answering questions and claiming discoveries -- Learning from experience the Bayesian way -- How things go wrong -- How we can do statistics better --
520 _aShows how to apply statistical reasoning to real-world problems. This isn't simply memorizing formulas or using the tools in a spreadsheet: he emphasizes the importance of clarifying questions, assumptions, and expectations, and--more importantly--knowing how to responsibly interpret the results the software generates.--
