Sommario/riassunto

This compilation of Dale Morgan's historical work on Indians in the



Intermountain West focuses primarily on the Shoshone who lived near the Oregon and California trails. Three connected works by Morgan are included: First is his classic article on the history of the Utah Superintendency of Indian Affairs. This is followed by a previously unpublished history of early relations among the Western Shoshoni, emigrants, and the government along the California Trail. The book concludes with an important set of government reports and correspondence from the National Archives concerning the Eastern Shoshone and their leader Washakie. Morgan heavily annotated these for serial publication in the Annals of Wyoming. He also wrote a previously unpublished history of early relations among the Western Shoshone, emigrants, and the government along the California Trail. Morgan biographer Richard L. Saunders introduces, edits, and further annotates this collection. His introduction includes an intellectual biography of Morgan that focuses on the place of the anthologized pieces in Morgan's corpus. Gregory E. Smoak, a leading historian of the Shoshone, contributes an ethnohistorical essay as additional context for Morgan's work.

Sommario/riassunto

This comprehensive textbook equips students of economics and business, as well as industry professionals, with essential principles, techniques, and applications of applied statistics, statistical testing, and multivariate data analysis. Through real-world business examples, it illustrates the practical use of univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistical methods. The content spans a broad range of topics, from data collection and scaling to the presentation and fundamental univariate analysis of quantitative data, while also demonstrating advanced analytical techniques for exploring multivariate relationships. The book systematically covers all topics typically included in university-level courses on statistics and advanced applied data analysis. Beyond theoretical discussion, it offers hands-on guidance for using statistical software tools such as Excel, SPSS, Stata, and R. In this completely revised and updated second edition, new sections on logistic regression are included, along with enhanced examples and solutions using R for all covered statistical methods. This edition provides a robust resource for mastering applied statistics in both academic and professional settings.
