Reviews"...Gerald van Bell not only has the keys, he also shares them in a wonderfully written little book called--what else?--'Statistical Rules of Thumb'." ( College Board AP Central, Teachers' Resources ) "This book documents a substantial selection of ...[good practices] wisdom." ( Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics , 2004) "...effective in moving statistics from the 'text book' into the 'real world'...text is clear and well-written..." ( Mathematics Today , Vol 40(4), August 2004) "...can be highly recommended to everybody who applied statistics or deals with statistical applications..." ( Statistical Papers , Vol. 45(1), Jan 2004) "...well written and presented...kind of book one can happily dip into and find something of interest..." ( Royal Statistical Society , Vol 157(1), 2004) "A strength of this book is the attempt to provide a justification for each rule." (J ournal of Official Statistics , June 2003) "...great reading...a thought-provoking book...strongly encourage statisticians and researchers to have Statistical Rules of Thumb handy..." ( The American Statistician , Vol. 57, No. 2, May 2003) "...enjoyable and...worthwhile reading for practitioners, consultants, and applied academic statisticians..." ( Technometrics , Vol. 45, No. 1, February 2003) "It is a pleasure to recommend this remarkable book to one and all. For a beginner it is a treasure trove; for an experienced person it can provide new ideas on how better to pursue the subject of applied statistics." ( Journal of Quality Technology , Vol. 35, No. 1, January 2003) "...a welcome addition to the statistical literature..." ( Zentralblatt Math , Vol.1011, No.11, 2003) "...a realistic book that challenges the way that students look at the issues involved with using statistics..." ( Short Book Reviews , December 2002) "...this quick-access guide is intended for the wide audience of students and researchers who deal with statistic in their...work."
