Wass, Scientific Computing "A spotter's guide to arrant nonsense cloaked in mathematical respectability." —Gord Doctorow, Boing Boing "Anyone evaluating published research, or anyone analyzing data, must understand these topics to understand (or do) science properly. This book is highly recommended." —Harvey Motulsky, author of Intuitive Biostatistics "I will certainly recommend the book to others who have an interest in medical statistics and indeed to medics who have a dislike of statistics!" —Dr. Catey Bunce, Lead Statistician at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust "I ADORE THIS BOOK and plan on sharing it with many of my students...amazing." —Dr. Nicole Radziwill, Assistant Professor, Department of Integrated Science & Technology, James Madison University "Good for newsrooms to have copies of this." —Raju Narisetti, SVP, Strategy, @NewsCorp "A well-written, funny, and useful guide to the most common problems in statistical practice today." —Civil Statistician "The kind of study guide that I think could benefit almost anyone slogging through a statistical analysis for the first time." —Joseph Rickert, Revolution Analytics "I wish every doctor could read this." —Eric LaMotte, MD, University of Washington Internal Medicine Residency Program "A great read...I would recommend it to any scientist exposed to statistics as well as to any non-scientist who would like to understand more about what may lie behind the ‘statistically significant’ results from studies reported in the media every day." —Ulla Sovio, Senior Research Associate, Applied Medical Statistics, University of Cambridge "Anyone who wants a chance at understanding research findings should consider this book as an invaluable guide to getting it right." —Sandra Henry-Stocker, IT World "An important addition to any data scientists library.

This is the best book I've read on the subject. Highly recommended!” —Adam Tornhill, programmer, psychologist, Lisp hacker, and author “A small but important book.

It has a clear audience: people who might make these statistical errors and those who might consume these statistical errors. . . . it knows its audience and makes deliberate choices with that audience in mind." —Chelsea Parlett Pelleriti, Ph.D., Chapman University Show Less
