THE CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY OF STATISTICS THIRD EDITION If you use statistics and need easy access to simple, reliable definitions and explana- tions of statistical and statistics-related concepts, then look no further than this dictionary. Over 3600 terms are defined, covering medical, survey, theoretical, and applied statistics, including computational statistics. Entries are provided for stan- dard and specialized statistical software. In addition, short biographies of over 100 important statisticians are given. Definitions provide enough mathematical detail to clarify concepts and give standard formulae when these are helpful. The majority of definitions then give a reference to a book or article where the user can seek further or more specialized information, and many are accompanied by graphical material to aid understanding.
