Modeling With Data

Praise for Modeling with Data

"Fascinating insights crop up on every page."
--Scientific American Book Club

"Where the author shines is his common sense and the practical tips he offers along the way. I have never seen a better short summary of the common probability distributions than the one that appears on page 235 with the heading 'Every probability distribution tells a story.'"
--Bill Satzer, for MAA Reviews

"I enjoyed reading this book and learned a great deal from it. Modeling with Data filled in a lot of holes in my knowledge, and I think that will be true in general for other readers as well. There is a lot of high-quality and interesting material here."
--Brendan Halpin, University of Limerick

Modeling with Data offers a useful blend of data-driven statistical methods and nuts-and-bolts guidance on implementing those methods.
--Pat Hall, founder of Translation Creation

"I am a psychiatric geneticist but my degree is in neuroscience, which means that I now do far more statistics than I have been trained for. I cannot overstate to you the magnitude of the change in my productivity since finding this book. Even after reading the first few chapters, which explain why data analysis is painful and how one can implement a long-term solution, my research moved forward greatly."
--Amber Baum, National Institute of Mental Health
