   Data Analysis Learning Statistics, authored by esteemed and valuable writer Roxy Peck, addresses common challenges encountered by novices of fundamental statistics with an original approach. Peck tackles the areas novices struggle with most–likelihood, hypothesis testing, and selecting an appropriate analysis method–unlike any other guide available. Probability coverage is based on recent research that illustrates how users most effectively comprehend the topic. Two distinct chapters, one on statistical inference and another on deriving insights from experimental data, address two common areas of confusion: selecting a specific inference approach and utilizing inference techniques with experimental data. Supported by learning objectives, real-world examples and exercises, and technology notes, this brand new guide directs readers in acquiring conceptual understanding, technical proficiency, and the ability to apply knowledge in practice.
