INTRODUCTION TO
PROBABILITY AND ITS
APPLICATIONS
Second Edition
RICHARD L. SCHEAFFER, University of Florida
380 pages. Casebound. ©1995. ISBN: 0-534-23790-8.
In this calculus-based text, theory is developed
to a practical degree around models used in
real-world applications. Proofs of theorems
and “tricky” probability calculations are mini-
mized. Computing and simulation are intro-
duced to make more difficult problems acces-
sible (although the material does not depend
on the computer for continuity).
Thomson • Duxbury — http://www.duxbury.com
IKEY FEATURES
Increased emphasis on practical aspects of
probabilistic interpretation of data: behav-
ior of relative frequencies; use of random-
ness in collecting data; two-way tables;
conditional probability as a measure of
association; and odds, odds ratios, and rela-
tive risk
Expanded use of probability distributions
in modeling reality: fitting distributions to
data; quantile-quantile plots for assessing
normality; reliability of systems; and uses
of Markov chains
Sections on theoretical issues: correlation;
general distribution of order statistics; and
moment-generating functions as a tech-
nique for finding distributions of functions
of random variables

the undergraduate or graduate level, this book
is designed for those who will actually use
probability and is designed to fit diverse audi-
ences (business students, applied engineering
students, and biology students).The course

the presentation of models rather than theory
alone. In this practical and interesting book,
author Do Le (Paul) Minh provides accessible
coverage for a course in probability models.
Minh includes interesting application problems
relating to medicine, business, and engineer-
ing, many of which are based on real studies
and applications.Throughout the book, he
integrates the use of computers and spread-
sheets to solve problems.
IKEY FEATURES
Real studies in examples and exercises are
used throughout the book to demonstrate
how probability models have been used in
actual problems.
Thoughtful integration of computing
provides practical insight into how proba-
bility models can be applied to larger scale

ISBN: 0-534-24312-6.
This book builds theoretical statistics from the
first principles of probability theory. Starting
from the basics of probability, the authors
develop the theory of statistical inference using
techniques, definitions, and concepts that are
statistical and are natural extensions and conse-
quences of previous concepts. Intended for
first-year graduate students, this book can be
used for students majoring in statistics who
have a solid mathematics background. It can
also be used in a way that stresses the more
practical uses of statistical theory, being more
concerned with understanding basic statistical
concepts and deriving reasonable statistical pro-
cedures for a variety of situations, and less con-
cerned with formal optimality investigations.
IKEY FEATURES
Offers coverage of random number gener-
ation, simulation methods, bootstrapping,
EM algorithm, p-values, and robustness.

A First Course in Statistical Methods addresses a
pressing need in the methods course—a short-
er text designed for a one-term course. By
selecting and revising material from their best-
selling two-semester text, An Introduction to
Statistical Methods and Data Analysis, Fifth
Edition, the authors created an ideal book for
a one-term course in statistical methods. Based
on the belief that statistics is a thought process
tied to the scientific method, the text utilizes a
5-step approach: 1) defining the problem, 2)
collecting data, 3) summarizing data, 4) analyz-
ing and interpreting the data, and 5) commu-
nicating the results of the analysis.
IKEY FEATURES
In order to encourage students with limit-
ed mathematical background and ability,
the authors have taken great care to ensure
that the material presented uses under-
standable, non-technical descriptions of
concepts, without relying solely on for-
mulas.
Encounters with Real Data sections appear
at the end of appropriate chapters.These
sections make use of real data sets com-
piled by Bruce Trumbo, and taken from
his casebook, Learning Statistics with Real
Data.These real data sets present relevant,
interesting challenges to students, requir-
ing multiple methods for data analysis.
The book makes wide use of graphical dis-
plays of data that help students understand
data and evaluate critical assumptions.
The authors’ approach emphasizes inter-
pretation and analysis of data over compu-
tation.
The technology friendly approach allows
computers to handle formulas so that stu-
dents can focus on interpretation and
analysis of data. Computer output from
popular statistical data analysis packages,
including MINITAB, SAS, JMP, SPSS, and
Stata, appears in the examples and exercises.

includes additional material on effect size
and magnitude of effect.
Includes current examples based on the
actual research literature.
Converts to using definitional formulae
rather than computational ones.The
squared deviation approach is much more
intuitively appealing in terms of explain-
ing what we are really measuring.
Places greater emphasis on computer solu-
tions (SPSS®, SAS®, and MINITAB™),
especially in later chapters. In the exercises
that accompany each chapter, additional or
modified questions have been included
that are suitable for computer analysis
rather than hand calculation.
Contains data for all examples and prob-
lems on the CD-ROM. Data can also be
downloaded from a set of Web pages that
the author maintains on the Internet.
Offers additional (and complex) examples,
discussion of topics that aren’t covered in
the text, data, and other sources on the
Internet. Also included are demonstrations
that would be suitable for class or for a
lab.
Contains a major section on nonparamet-
ric statistics in Chapter 18 to take into
account the recent work on resampling
statistics and bootstrapping, and includes
computer programs to perform the analy-
ses. Additional exploratory material is
available via the Web.
Explains the material at an intuitive level
to give students a sense of how tests work
and how they interrelate.
Integrates two underlying themes:The
first is the importance of looking at the
data before formulating a hypothesis.The
second is the importance of the relation-
ship between the statistical test to be
employed and the theoretical questions
being posed by the experiment.
Illustrates concepts with real-life examples
from published literature.

THE STATISTICAL SLEUTH:
A COURSE IN METHODS OF
DATA ANALYSIS
Second Edition
FRED RAMSEY and DANIEL SCHAFER, both of
Oregon State University
816 pages. Casebound. 7-3/8 x 9-1/4. ©2002.
ISBN: 0-534-38670-9.
“What is new and different about Ramsey and
Schafer’s book, what makes it a ‘larger contribution,’
is that it gives much more prominence to modeling
and interpretation of the sort that goes beyond the
routine patterns.”
George Cobb, The American Statistician
(February 2000,Vol. 54, No. 1)
The Statistical Sleuth is an innovative treatment
of general statistical methods, taking full
advantage of the computer, both as a compu-
tational and an analytical tool.The material is
independent of any specific software package.
Cobb’s students did “substantially better” on
term papers based on the analysis of data.
Ramsey and Schafer focus on a serious analy-
sis of real case studies; on strategies and tools
of modern statistical data analysis; on the
interplay of statistics and scientific learning;
and on the communication of results.With
interesting examples, real data, and a variety of
exercise types (conceptual, computational, and
data problems), the authors get students excit-
ed about statistics.
IKEY FEATURES
Data problems to cover current events.
Contains a section on Akaike’s and the
Bayes Information Criteria for Model
Selection in Chapter 12.
Discussion of Bayesian Inference in
Chapter 21.
Real-world case studies introduce each
method.
Problems are those graduate researchers
typically encounter, with regression as the
principal featured tool.
Generalized linear models, repeated meas-
ures, and serial correlation are included.
Strong, early coverage (Chapters 1-4) of
the fundamentals of drawing sound infer-
ences (introduced by means of two-sample
problems).
Intermediate/Advanced Statistics
Excellent discussion of design issues (as
they apply to case studies) throughout,
with two experimental design chapters at
the end of the book.

Statistics is a thought process. In this compre-
hensive introduction to statistical methods and
data analysis, the process is presented utilizing
a four-step approach: 1) gathering data, 2)
summarizing data, 3) analyzing data, and 4)
communicating the results of data analyses.
IKEY FEATURES
Includes basic introductory statistical
methods, as well as an in-depth descrip-
tion of regression analysis and experimen-
tal design, providing flexibility of coverage.
Contains excellent examples and exercises
from diverse subject areas, accommodating
the interests and needs of the varied stu-
dent audience.
Offers understandable, non-technical
descriptions of concepts without relying
solely on formulas, which encourages stu-
dents with limited mathematical back-
ground and ability.
Emphasizes exploratory data analysis by
incorporating stem and leaf diagrams, box
plots, dot plots, histograms, and bar charts.
Minimizes mathematical presentation of
formulas and increases use of computer
output (SAS® and MINITAB™).

STATISTICAL RESEARCH
METHODS IN THE LIFE SCIENCES
P.V. RAO, University of Florida
820 pages. Casebound. ©1998. ISBN: 0-534-93141-3.
Rao continually emphasizes issues and topics
most relevant to modern day research in the
life sciences. For example, point and interval
estimation take priority over testing of statisti-
cal hypothesis and methods and guidelines for
determination of sample size are indicated
whenever possible.
Statistical Research Methods in the Life Sciences
also presents a self-contained and complete
discussion of each experimental situation con-
sidered. In the two-sample setting, for exam-
ple, in addition to presenting the procedures
under the usual analysis of variance assump-
tion, Rao also presents methods for checking
the validity of the assumptions.

Regression students will appreciate this best-
seller’s modern, practical approach and its use
of real-life problems.This third edition offers a
significant shift in emphasis from calculation
to interpretation, by replacing computational
formulas with computer printouts in SAS®. It
highlights the role of the computer in con-
temporary statistics with numerous printouts
and exercises that can be solved with the
computer.
Appropriate for statistics, biostatistics, mathe-
matics, psychology, sociology, business, and
industrial engineering students or anyone who
intends to use regression analysis in their
work, this text offers a traditional structure
with a modern flavor.The authors emphasize
model development; the intuitive logic and
assumptions that underlie the techniques cov-
ered as well as the purposes, advantages and
disadvantages, and valid interpretations of
those techniques.

REGRESSION WITH GRAPHICS:
A SECOND COURSE IN APPLIED
STATISTICS
LAWRENCE C. HAMILTON, University of New
Hampshire, Durham
363 pages. Casebound. ©1992. IBSN: 0-534-15900-1.
This text demonstrates how computing power
has expanded the role of graphics in analyzing,
exploring, and experimenting with raw data. It
is primarily intended for students whose
research requires more than an introductory
statistics course, but who may not have an
extensive background in rigorous mathemat-
ics. It’s also suitable for courses with students
of varying mathematical abilities.
Hamilton provides students with a practical,
realistic, and graphical approach to regression
analysis so that they are better prepared to
solve real, sometimes messy problems. For stu-
dents and professors who prefer a heavier
mathematical emphasis, the author has includ-
ed optional sections throughout the text
where the formal, mathematical development
of the material is explained in greater detail.
Regression with Graphics is appropriate for use
with any (or no) statistical computer package.
However, Hamilton used STATA in the devel-
opment of the text due to its ease of applica-
tion and sophisticated graphics capabilities.
(STATA is available in a student package from
Duxbury including a tutorial by the same
author, Statistics with STATA, 5.0. (See page
108.)

Based on decades of teaching, consulting, and
industrial experience in the field of design and
analysis of experiments, the authors provide an
intuitive understanding of the principles of
experimental design and analysis.The empha-
sis is on the application of experimental design
concepts in such traditional management and
industrial engineering areas such as marketing,
operations, management information systems,
organizational behavior, and others.The
authors also apply this material to such non-
profit areas as education, health care, and gov-
ernment. Using popular analytical tools such
as SPSS, JMP, and Microsoft® Excel, Berger and
Maurer emphasize the modern application of
experimental design to real problems.
IKEY FEATURES

DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS:
STATISTICAL PRINCIPLES OF
RESEARCH DESIGN AND
ANALYSIS
Second Edition
ROBERT O. KUEHL, University of Arizona,
Emeritus
700 pages. Casebound. ©2000. ISBN: 0-534-36834-4.
Robert Kuehl’s Design of Experiments, Second
Edition, prepares students to design and ana-
lyze experiments that will help them succeed
in the real world. Kuehl uses a large array of
real data sets from a broad spectrum of scien-
tific and technological fields.This approach
provides realistic settings for conducting actual
research projects. Next, he emphasizes the
importance of developing a treatment design
based on a research hypothesis as an initial
step, then developing an experimental or
observational study design that facilitates effi-
cient data collection. In addition to a consis-
tent focus on research design, Kuehl offers an
interpretation for each analysis.
IKEY FEATURES
Uses R.A. Fisher’s seminal paper of 1926
on designing experiments in Chapter 1 as
the basis for discussions of sound research
design and illustrates the principles with a
case study.
Intermediate/Advanced Statistics
Includes spread-location plots in Chapter
4 to aid evaluation of homogeneous vari-
ance assumptions and residual-fitted spread
plots to evaluate adequacy of the fitted
model.
Integrates pointers to advanced method-
ologies and modeling techniques through-
out the book.
Uses confidence interval level of inference
with simultaneous confidence intervals as
the preferred choice of inference for mul-
tiple comparisons.
Includes coverage of the newer Latinized
resolvable block designs (Ch. 10), the gen-
eral Taguchi method philosophy (Ch. 12),
and heterogeneous slopes among treat-
ment groups for the covariate (Ch. 17).

sampling.With a multitude of applications
from a variety of disciplines, the book concen-
trates on the statistical aspects of taking and
analyzing a sample. Overall, the book gives
guidance on how to tell whether a sample is
valid, and how to design and analyze many
different forms of sample surveys.
IKEY FEATURES
Provides flexibility in both content and
level. It can be used for undergraduates
who have had one introductory statistics
course or for a first-year graduate course.
Uses real data as much as possible.
Examples and exercises come from social
sciences, engineering, agriculture, medi-
cine, and more.

JAMES LATTIN, Stanford University;
DOUGLAS CARROLL, Rutgers University; and
PAUL GREEN, Wharton School, University of
Pennsylvania
526 pages. Paperbound. 7-3/8 x 9-1/4. 1-Color. ©2003.
ISBN: 0-534-34974-9.
Offering the latest teaching and practice of
applied multivariate statistics, this text is per-
fect for students who need an applied intro-
duction to the subject. Lattin, Caroll, and
Green have created a text that speaks to the
needs of applied students who have advanced
beyond the beginning level, but are not
advanced statistics majors.The text provides a
three-part structure. First, the authors begin
each major topic by developing students’ sta-
tistical intuition through applications.Then,
they provide illustrative examples for support.
Finally, for those courses where it will be valu-
able, they describe relevant mathematical
underpinnings with vectors and matrix alge-
bra. Additionally, each chapter follows a stan-
dard format.This format begins by discussing a
general se of research objectives, followed by
illustrative examples of problems in different
areas.Then it provides an explanation of how
each method works, followed by a sample
problem, application of the technique, and
interpretation of results.
IKEY FEATURES
Uses geometric interpretation to develop
readers’ intuition and provide students
with a mental picture of how each
method works. Mathematics is used to
support the underlying intuition.
Takes a pragmatic, hands-on approach
through sample problems based on real
data. Each chapter offers at least one appli-
cation, as well as discussion of issues relat-
ed to the proper interpretation of the
results.

Statisticians and nonstatisticians alike will
appreciate this modern and comprehensive
text. Dallas Johnson uses real-life examples and
explains the “when to,” “why to,” and “how
to” of numerous multivariate methods, stress-
ing the importance and practical application of
each. He keeps technical details to a minimum
for greater student understanding. Students
will be able to DO multivariate analyses when
they complete this book. Drawing on nearly
20 years of experience teaching public semi-
nars and college courses in applied multivari-
ate methods, Johnson emphasizes those aspects
that have been most useful to practitioners
trying to solve real problems using real data.

ISBN: 0-534-37865-X.
This book teaches and illustrates the use of
SPC (Statistical Process Control) techniques for
healthcare professionals. SPC techniques allow
these professionals to properly extract informa-
tion from healthcare data, make intelligent
decisions based on statistical data, and know if
the data has been presented in an appropriate
manner. Using a case study approach, the
authors present the theory, computations (hand
and computer), and application (case study) for
each concept. In recent years, SPC has been
proven effective in improving the quality of
health care, just as it has in other service indus-
tries and in manufacturing.

Discusses the methods for selecting the
proper control charts and other SPC
methods, as well as how to properly per-
form the analysis by computer and inter-
pret the results.
Acquaints the reader with the relevant
methods for collecting and analyzing data
and indicates how to set priorities in
selecting processes for improvement.
Teaches the use of 3-sigma limits for qual-
ity purposes, how to tell whether they are
applicable, and what to do when 3-sigma
limits are not applicable.
Depicts the appropriate methods for pro-
filing hospitals, doctors, and other
providers, using Xbar & s charts and p
charts so readers can determine whether
the differences are statistically significant.

INTRODUCTION TO MODERN
NONPARAMETRIC STATISTICS
JAMES J. HIGGINS, Kansas State University
500 pages. Casebound. 7-3/8 x 9-1/4. 1-Color. ©2004.
ISBN: 0-534-38775-6.
Guided by problems that frequently arise in
actual practice, James Higgins’ book presents a
wide array of nonparametric methods of data
analysis that researchers will find useful. It dis-
cusses a variety of nonparametric methods
and, wherever possible, stresses the connection
between methods. For instance, rank tests are
introduced as special cases of permutation tests
applied to ranks.The author provides coverage
of topics not often found in nonparametric
textbooks, including procedures for multivari-
ate data, multiple regression, multi-factor
analysis of variance, survival data, and curve
smoothing.This truly modern approach teach-
es non-majors how to analyze and interpret
data with nonparametric procedures using
today’s computing technology.
Page 91
Intermediate/Advanced Statistics
IKEY FEATURES
The author provides a narrative presenta-
tion of very technical material, which
helps non-statisticians understand difficult
concepts.
Many examples and exercises use real data.
Selected computer output and code show
how methods are implemented.Three sta-
tistical packages are featured: StatXact,
Resampling Stats, and S-Plus.
This book presents a comprehensive and
accessible compilation of modern non-
parametric techniques not often found in
a single book, but rather in individual
books on traditional nonparametric rank
tests, permutations tests, bootstrapping
procedures, nonparametric survival analy-
sis, etc.
Current references to the latest literature
on each topic are included.

ISBN: 0-534-38194-4.
This book covers the most commonly used
nonparametric statistical techniques by empha-
sizing applications rather than theory. Exercises
and examples are drawn from various disci-
plines including agriculture, biology, sociology,
education, psychology, medicine, business,
geology, and anthropology.The applications of
techniques are presented in a step-by-step for-

RESAMPLING/BOOTSTRAP
METHODS
DATA ANALYSIS BY
RESAMPLING: CONCEPTS AND
APPLICATIONS
CLIFFORD E. LUNNEBORG, University of
Washington and The Open University
566 pages. Casebound. ©2000. ISBN: 0-534-22110-6.
In Data Analysis by Resampling, Clifford
Lunneborg argues that modern computing
power has rendered the model-driven and
assumption-plagued data analyses of the past
unnecessary, obsolete, and inappropriate.This
book introduces readers to modern, design-
driven analyses that depend only on observed
data, on knowledge of how the data were col-
lected, and on questions the data were intend-
ed to answer. Overall, Lunneborg provides a
modern and timely approach to statistical
inference.
IKEY FEATURES
Develops three resampling approaches to
statistical inference, each suited to a partic-
ular study design: Bootstrap Population
Inference (for studies in which cases are
randomly sampled), Rerandomization
Causal Inference (for studies in which
cases are randomly assigned), and
Subsample Descriptive Inference (for non-
random studies)
Includes applications across the breadth of
empirical research
Provides explicit computational algorithms
Illustrates the use of three widely available
statistical computing packages

A GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION
JANICE DERR, Pennsylvania State University
350 pages. Casebound. ©2000. ISBN: 0-534-36228-1.
PACKAGED FREE WITH THE TEXT:
CD-ROM with Videos
Using text and video, Janice Derr integrates
three themes that form the perspective of this
book. First, a statistician should treat each
client as a potential collaborator. Second, diver-
sity must be appreciated. Students will see a
variety of cultures, styles of communication
Statistics 2004
and negotiation, and learning preferences in
the book.Third, experienced statisticians and
clients must work together in the process of
training statistical consultants. On the CD-
ROM, video segments bring the material to
life and cover each aspect of statistical consult-
ing by demonstrating good and bad tech-
niques.
IKEY FEATURES
Teaches how to communicate technical,
statistical information to non-statisticians,
which leads to increased accuracy, less
wasted effort, and more powerful results.
Covers non-verbal skills that affect first
impressions.
Develops effective styles of communica-
tion for different types of people.
Explains how to negotiate through diffi-
cult situations and improve the environ-
ment for statistical consulting.
Provides end-of-section exercises, self-
assessment checklists, and many examples
from work environments, such as industry,
government, academia, and self-employ-
ment.

CAPSTONE COURSE
THE PRACTICE OF STATISTICS:
PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER
JOHN D. SPURRIER, University of South
Carolina
216 pages. Casebound. ©2000. ISBN: 0-534-36490-X.
Capstone courses in statistics teach students
how to apply their learned skills as if they
were professional statisticians. It enables them
to tie together ideas and methods from their
undergraduate course work to solve problems.
Students are presented with a series of ‘experi-
ences.’They are required to work in teams to
collect data, then individually to solve the
problem and present written and oral reports.
The ‘experiences’ expose students to addition-
al challenges they might encounter on the job.
IKEY FEATURES
Experiences model real-world issues that
professional statisticians encounter.
Communication modules (Part II)
include: 1) strategies for effective written
reports; 2) strategies for effective oral pre-
sentations; and 3) producing visual aids
with Microsoft® PowerPoint.
Custom opportunities exist, for example,
Experiences for 1, 2, and 7 for a Sampling
course; Experiences for 3, 5, and 8 for a
statistical methods or experimental design
course. Experience for 4 for a mathemati-
cal statistics course.
