商品描述

 Statistics is confusing, even for smart, technically competent people. And many students and professionals find that existing books and web resources don’t give them an intuitive understanding of confusing statistical concepts. That is why this book is needed. Some of the unique qualities of this book are:

Easy to Understand: Uses unique “graphics that teach” such as concept flow diagrams, compare-and-contrast tables, and even cartoons to enhance “rememberability.”

Easy to Use: Alphabetically arranged, like a mini-encyclopedia, for easy lookup on the job, while studying, or during an open-book exam.

Wider Scope: Covers Statistics I and Statistics II and Six Sigma Black Belt, adding such topics as control charts and statistical process control, process capability analysis, and design of experiments. As a result, this book will be useful for business professionals and industrial engineers in addition to students and professionals in the social and physical sciences.

In addition, each of the 60+ concepts is covered in one or more articles. The 75 articles in the book are usually 5–7 pages long, ensuring that things are presented in “bite-sized chunks.” The first page of each article typically lists five “Keys to Understanding” which tell the reader everything they need to know on one page. This book also contains an article on “Which Statistical Tool to Use to Solve Some Common Problems”, additional “Which to Use When” articles on Control Charts, Distributions, and Charts/Graphs/Plots, as well as articles explaining how different concepts work together (e.g., how Alpha, p, Critical Value, and Test Statistic interrelate).

ANDREW A. JAWLIK received his B.S. in Mathematics and his M.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Michigan. He held jobs with IBM in marketing, sales, finance, and information technology, as well as a position as Process Executive. In these jobs, he learned how to communicate difficult technical concepts in easy - to - understand terms. He completed Lean Six Sigma Black Belt coursework at the IASSC - accredited Pyzdek Institute. In order to understand the confusing statistics involved, he wrote explanations in his own words and graphics. Using this material, he passed the certification exam with a perfect score. Those statistical explanations then became the starting point for this book.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

統計學對於聰明且技術能力強的人來說也是令人困惑的。許多學生和專業人士發現現有的書籍和網路資源並不能讓他們對於複雜的統計概念有直觀的理解。這就是為什麼需要這本書的原因。這本書的一些獨特特點包括:

• 易於理解:使用獨特的「圖像教學」,如概念流程圖、比較對照表,甚至卡通圖片,以增強「易記性」。

• 易於使用:按字母順序排列,像一本迷你百科全書,方便在工作中查找、學習中查詢,或者在開卷考試中使用。

• 範圍更廣:涵蓋統計學I和統計學II以及六西格瑪黑帶,增加了控制圖和統計過程控制、過程能力分析和實驗設計等主題。因此,除了社會科學和自然科學的學生和專業人士外,這本書還對商業專業人士和工業工程師有用。

此外,每個60多個概念都在一個或多個文章中進行了介紹。這本書中的75篇文章通常長5-7頁,確保以「一口一口的」方式呈現。每篇文章的第一頁通常列出五個「理解關鍵」,告訴讀者他們需要在一頁上知道的一切。這本書還包含一篇關於「解決一些常見問題時使用哪種統計工具」的文章,以及關於控制圖、分佈和圖表/圖形/圖表的「何時使用哪種」文章,還有解釋不同概念如何相互關聯的文章(例如,Alpha、p、臨界值和檢定統計量的相互關係)。

ANDREW A. JAWLIK在密歇根大學獲得數學學士學位和數學與計算機科學碩士學位。他曾在IBM擔任市場營銷、銷售、財務和資訊技術等職位,以及流程執行職位。在這些工作中,他學會了如何以易於理解的術語傳達困難的技術概念。他在經過IASSC認證的Pyzdek Institute完成了精益六西格瑪黑帶課程。為了理解涉及的複雜統計學,他用自己的話和圖像寫下了解釋。使用這些材料,他以滿分通過了認證考試。這些統計解釋成為了這本書的起點。
