The Cambridge Dictionary of Statistics

Reviews / Votes

Earlier edition: 'This is already the most useful book on my shelf ... excellent value and it is highly recommended as a reference text for anyone who is even mildly interested in statistics.' The Statistician Earlier edition: 'This is a 'must-have' reference for statisticians and students of statistics.' Journal of the American Statistical Association Earlier edition: 'This is a valuable reference book for all statisticians and medical researchers who use and who need to understand statistics ... [It] should be purchased by statisticians, libraries that support medical and veterinary departments, and research workers in medicine.' Journal of Applied Ecology 'Everitt's text is broken up with many well-chosed graphs, diagrams and pictures; numerical examples are sometimes used to illuminate the written entries. These features help make it the more attractive book to skim through, allowing the happy accident of lexicographic adjacency to divert you to fascinating byways.' Significance ' ... I recommend buying the Cambridge dictionary; mainly because it covers more terms than the Oxford dictionary, but partly also because its format makes it easier to read.' Journal of Applied Statistics
