| Summary, etc. |
"The Tao of Statistics: A Path To Understanding (With No Math) provides a new approach to statistics through impressionistic illustrations, verse, and accompanying text. Unlike other introductions, this text explains what statistics mean and how they are used, rather than how to calculate them. Author Dana K. Keller takes readers by the hand and walks them through the basic concepts, as well as some of the most complex statistical models in use." "The book shows how life seen through statistical eyes never looks quite the same again. The author invites professionals and students to journey down this path and experience a growing sense of wonderment at the patterns and relationships that emerge from the chaos."--BOOK JACKET. |
