Krátky popis
'This marvellous book will transform your relationship with the
numbers that swirl all around us' TIM HARFORD, author of The
Undercover EconomistStatistics has played a leading role in our
scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all
familiar with the way statistical claims can be sensationalised,
particularly in the media. In the age of big data, as data science
becomes established as a discipline, a basic grasp of statistical
literacy is more important than ever. In The Art of Statistics,
David Spiegelhalter guides the reader through the essential
principles we need in order to derive knowledge from data.Drawing
on real world problems to introduce conceptual issues, he shows us
how statistics can help us determine the luckiest passenger on the
Titanic, whether serial killer Harold Shipman could have been
caught earlier, and if screening for ovarian cancer is beneficial.
How many trees are there on the planet? Do busier hospitals have
higher survival rates? Why do old men have big ears? Spiegelhalter
reveals the answers to these and many other questions - questions
that can only be addressed using statistical science. 'Shines a
light on how we can use the ever-growing deluge of data to improve
our understanding of the world' NATURE'There is something in here
for everyone ...A call to arms for greater societal data literacy'
