It explains how to determine what method should be used for analysis, and includes figures, visual aids, and access to a companion website with data sets and additional examples.
Reviews / Votes
"The book provides an introductory but comprehensive guide for performing data analysis in MATLAB. It not only covers the most important topics in basic statistics (along with some machine learning techniques), but also touches upon more advanced methods such as kernel density estimation, bootstrap, and principal component analysis...Most of the theories are conveyed in a concise and intuitive way, yet the explanations are quite effective. The implementation of each method in MATLAB is demonstrated using real examples. Detailed MATLAB codes and corresponding numerical and figure outputs are presented with informative MATLAB comments, which makes them easily understood even without the context. The book can be used as a good complementary book to introductory statistics courses...The book can also serve as a perfect guide for self-learners who are not familiar with MATLAB but wish to use MATLAB as a data analysis tool."-The American Statistician
