Statistical Rules of Thumb, 2nd Edition

"For the applied researcher who does much of her or his own data analysis, this book is a must-have. Even the applied statistician would benefit from owning a copy of this collection. It is certain that some 'rules' will be new, and the descriptions in the text can come in quite handy when one i trying to explain a concept to a non-statistician. In short, this collection of 'rules' is highly recommended." (MAA Reviews, December 10, 2008)

“The first edition was masterful, the second is beyond wonderful.   First-edition topics have been updated; new chapters on observational studies and evidence-based medicine broaden and deepen impact.   A must read for all who produce or read quantitative studies.”
