Hurlburt's areas of interest include the teaching of introductory statistics: Dr. Hurlburt has developed "eyeball estimation" techniques for comprehending the concepts of statistics, and he's incorporated them into his textbooks and computer-aided instructional programs. His clinical psychology and engineering backgrounds make him ideally situated to write about introductory statistics with accuracy and sensitivity.

book by Russell T. While this book provides the same material found in most introductory statistics texts, it goes beyond the standard by teaching students how to estimate statistics before computations are performed. The ESTAT software helps students build this skill by allowing them to learn to make accurate T before ever touching a calculator.

The easy to use, hands-on "Personal Trainer CD-ROM" contains 43 short interactive audio/visual lectures (called "lectlets")covering all the concepts in the text. Students use the lectlets to prepare for class, to clarify concepts they didn't understand in class, to keep up if they have to miss a class, and to review for exams. This CD-ROM also includes ESTAT, Hurlburt's unique eyeball-estimation software, which enables students to make an educated guess about the magnitude of a statistic without the use of a calculator or statistical tables. ESTAT offers 15 graphical exercises, and includes datagen, the easiest-to-use statistical computational software. The "Personal Trainer CD-ROM" also includes interactive electronic review and multiple-choice quizzes. Students can click a "Transcript" button to produce word-for-word transcripts of each lectlet audio- a feature that is especially beneficial to ESL/ELL students. This CD-ROM is a dynamic and useful "after-class tutor" for any student struggling with statistics! All discussions of computational formulas (for standard deviation, variance, ANOVA, correlation, and regression) can be found in the "Resources" section of the "Personal Trainer CD-ROM," though the formulas remain in the text for reference.

The book was what I expected and it came with the DVD!

Vivados

This is a great Statistics textbook. It really helps by breaking down the concepts and providing practice problems that pertain to the chapter material. It's a great accompaniment to a great professor.

Nayatol

This is a text assigned for a doctoral level quantitative statistics class. I believe Hurlburt does a good job of explaining concepts and he even tries to be funny!

Daron

Great product, as described, cheap and delivery fast!

Cetnan

The item arrived on time, all components included and the price was more than reasonable. Awesome!

xander

The book arrived in perfect condition with a CD that was never opened. It seems pretty straightforward and has online examples to illustrate some of the key points.

Book came quickly. When I needed the forgotten CD, they worked fast to remedy and CD arrived within 3 days.
No problems. Would use them again.

This book is both comprehensive and realistic (e.g. the author recognizes that introductory students can handle interval and ratio data similarly). I have taught one semester of intro stats using this textbook. I'll need several more semesters before I truly feel comfortable teaching it, but I can give a preliminary report on the book:

Best part: The eyeballing techniques. The formulas behind behavioral statistics are far from simple, but the distinctions they make are related to quantitative analyses (visual and otherwise) which the students already know how to perform. Can you balance a flat ruler on a pencil? Can you tell Pigpen from Charlie Brown? If so, you can see in the data some of the distinctions that we make with measures of central tendency (like averages) and of variation.

2nd best part: The audio CD. As another reviewer suggested, it's not slick, it won't make any radio charts, okay, but it's the author putting each of the core concepts in perspective. Hurlburt is a good writer, even with the rough spots I note below, and his prose looks daunting to some introductory-level students. I don't know if more than a few of my students tried the CD, but it definitely helped a few of them get more out of the book.

Rough patches: The Student's t distribution is snuck in somewhat abruptly, in comparison to other explanations. There are also a few paragraphs in the ANOVA chapter which many of my students found indigestible, and with reason. And likely no one else will care, but some of the data sets presented say precisely whether they are simulated or actual data -- why don't they all?

More good stuff: The author does not think that everyone on earth longs to be a statistician. (Another intro textbook I considered bases its entire discussion of ANOVA on degrees of freedom, which is no doubt mathematically sound, but I had to laugh, since so many of us in the graduate program were still stumbling on that concept! Group means are a little more broadly understood.) In this book, it takes a second to figure out the answer index, but after that you're fine, and the exercises offered follow the lessons well.

If the publisher would produce power points with the graphs from the book and give the author some time and maybe 5 more pages to improve the occasional rough patches, this text would be more useful and probably more widely used.
