Naked Statistics

Naked Statistics strips away the arcane and technical details and focuses on the underlying intuition that drives statistical analysis. It clarifies key concepts such as inference, correlation, and regression analysis, revealing how biased or careless parties can manipulate or misrepresent data. It also shows us how brilliant and creative researchers are exploiting the valuable data from natural experiments to tackle thorny questions. With the wit, accessibility, and sheer fun, Wheelan defies the odds yet again by bringing another essential, formerly unglamorous discipline to life.
