Recenzje

'Most statistics textbooks intimidate the professionals who are the intended audience. Anne McDonnell Sill does a masterful job of explaining complex and sophisticated statistical ideas. Her writing is very clear and easy to follow. The book skips over some of the mathematical details that are now processed by statistical software. This book is a welcome addition for laboratory scientists, research clinicians, undergraduates, graduates, and medical students.' Hamid Ferdosi, George Washington University, Washington, DC
