Statistical Analysis with Excel For Dummies Reviews
The pages were worn and curled by the time the 6-week course was over, but it was so nice to find what I couldn't understand from the professor and the classroom text, in this book. I used this book along with the "dummies" book as tutorials to help me get enough of a grasp of sadistics (I mean, statistics) to earn a "C" in the class. It would NOT have been possible without the two book aids I bought.
I don't have any statistical software at work, but need to do some deeper analysis. It is very easy to understand and is loaded with examples. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone needing to do some basic statistical analysis. I never realized I could do so much with Excel. Although this book was written for Excel 2003, I'm using 2007 and can still follow along without any issues. I had statistics in college (15+ years ago) but don't remember much. I bought this book and am about 1/2 way through.
So I bought this book since I am a total dummy when it comes to Stats. :) I do recommend it to anyone struggling as it walks you through step by step of each type of problem and explains in clear english what exactly is going on. Regression, Anova, single sample, etc. The book really does a great job as long as you have windows and excel as you can imagine given the title of the book. I found myself making notes, highlighting and referencing various formulas in it often. I have been taking a statistics course and was terrible at the concepts being taught. Thanks to this book I passed my stats class.
Excel has many sophisticated statistical analysis tools built in. This is an excellent resource for those who need to do statistical analysis, but who don't want to (or can't afford) to hire it professionally done. I'm very happy I bought it, and I'd do it again. This is an excellent, short reference that is worth every penny.
(One excellent book for that is "Statistics for Dummies," by Deborah Rumsey). The examples are brief, but that's because the book isn't intended to be a comprehensive introduction to statistics. In addition, the author introduces each statistical function by explaining what the function does, how it does it, and why one might consider using it. The writing style is somewhat breezy, but that never interferes with the utility of the book.
In addition, there is a great deal of information on designing graphs to display the results of the analysis. As is the case with most of the "for Dummies" books, this one divides the information into short, easily digestible bites. The author explains how to access these capabilities, how to decide which of them to use, and how to use them correctly.
very helpful for someone who has little previous knowledge of the subject. I needed a simple lead in and this provided.
