Statistical Thinking from Scratch
A Primer for Scientists
M. D. Edge
Reviews and Awards
"This book is extraordinarily accessible. It is engaging, very good, and deserves wider recognition as a course text for advanced undergraduate level or beginning science research graduate students. What really makes it a compelling course (and self-learning) text are the many exercises scattered throughout. This is a very practical text whose main aim is to increase the statistical expertise of users. Throughout, the reader is treated to a lively, witty and engaging writing style. Highly recommended." -- Journal of the Royal Statistical Society
"Statistical Thinking from Scratch: A Primer for Scientists, a new book by M.D. Edge, a population geneticist, fills a unique niche in this landscape, sitting between the inference-focused material most biodiversity scientists are likely familiar with, and mathematical statistics books that focus on the derivations and properties of estimators." --
