Recenzje

This is the best introductory book on empirical methods for the lay reader I have seen. It uses fascinating examples from the real world of litigation, avoiding jargon and math while clearly explaining technical terms and the fundamental intuitions behind regression analysis and other statistical techniques. It should be on the desk of every lawyer and judge, and anyone else who is interested in empirical methods.
