Data are everywhere these days; the problem is making sense of them. That is the role of statistics, the university course that so many people skip or forget. Charles Wheelan, a professor at Dartmouth College, does something unique here: he makes statistics interesting and fun. His latest book strips the subject of its complexity to expose the attractive stuff underneath.
Statistics is an important intellectual tool which allows the compression of a massive amount of information to a few meaningful numbers. It is the bedrock of modem society, from putting rockets into orbit to managing junk e-mail filters. People from all fields are finding that they need a familiarity with figures and statistics. But the problem is that the subject is typically taught by people who like statistics, rather than those who simply care about putting them to use. "Naked Statistics" is interesting because it focuses on the purpose of stats, not their inner elegance.
选项
答案
当今世界,数据铺天盖地,然而要理解其意义却是个难题。这就是统计学的作用,一门不少人在大学里逃过或者将其遗忘的课程。Dartmouth大学的Charles Wheelan教授做了一件与众不同的事情:他让统计学变得有趣又好玩。他最新的一本书揭开了这门学科复杂的外衣,使其展现出内在的魅力。 统计学是一项处理信息的重要工具,它能够将大量信息压缩成几个有意义的数字。它是现代社会的基石,大到把火箭送入轨道,小到过滤垃圾邮件。各行各业的人们发现,他们越来越需要通晓数据和统计学方面的知识。可问题是,教这门课的通常是热爱统计学的人,而不是那些只是关注应用这个工具的人。“赤裸裸的统计学”的有趣之处就在于它重点关注的是统计学的用途,而不是其内在的美感。
