Workshop Statistics : Discovery with Data, a Bayesian Approach

The "workshop approach" builds upon analysis of genuine data and leads to practical working experience. Unique in its format, the text allows students to discover statistical concepts, explore statistical principles, and apply statistical techniques. The book, in addition to the numerous activities and exercises around which the text is built, includes basic text exposition for each topic, concept "wrap-ups", and data appendices. Among the many features are an emphasis on Bayesian techniques, which focus on the concept of statistical inference.
