If you use statistics and need easy access to simple, reliable definitions and
explanations of modern statistical concepts, then look no further than this dictionary.
Over 3600 terms are defined, covering medical, survey, theoretical, and
applied statistics, including computational aspects.
Entries are provided for standard and specialized statistical software. In
addition, short biographies of over 100 important statisticians are given. Definitions
provide enough mathematical detail to clarify concepts and give standard formulae when
these are helpful. The majority of definitions then give a reference to a book or article
where the user can seek further or more specialized information, and many are accompanied
by graphical material to aid understanding.
