商品描述

This book offers a broad selection of statistical applications to everyday situations, illustrating how exciting and diverse statistical analysis can be. It covers a wide variety of topics, including offering hearing-impaired people the option to enjoy music, extracting meaningful quantitative data from texts, and modeling flood disasters to help get a better grip on them. Most of the examples are not typically found in textbooks but directly relate to real-life problems encountered by the "average person", including topics relevant for sustainable development.
Technical jargon and formalism have been avoided as much as possible, and a detailed statistical background is not assumed of the reader, making the book accessible to anyone interested in current research in statistical applications. Providing an unobscured look at a thoroughly fascinating science, it will help students to develop enthusiasm for statistical issues and methods, and may even inspire ideas for their own projects.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了廣泛的統計應用於日常情境的選擇，展示了統計分析的興奮與多樣性。內容涵蓋了多種主題，包括為聽障人士提供享受音樂的選擇、從文本中提取有意義的定量數據，以及對洪水災害進行建模以幫助更好地理解這些問題。大多數例子並非典型的教科書內容，而是直接與「普通人」所面臨的現實問題相關，包括與可持續發展相關的主題。

本書儘量避免使用技術術語和正式的表達方式，並不假設讀者具備詳細的統計背景，使得任何對統計應用當前研究感興趣的人都能輕鬆閱讀。提供了一個清晰的視角來了解這門引人入勝的科學，將幫助學生培養對統計問題和方法的熱情，甚至可能激發他們自己項目的創意。
