Unfortunately, the way the concept of statistics is introduced to students is not compatible with the way economists think and learn. The problem is worsened by the use of mathematical jargon and complex derivations. However, as this book demonstrates, neither is necessary. This book is written in simple English with minimal use of symbols, mostly for the sake of brevity and to make reading literature more meaningful. 410 0$a2012 digital library. 410 0$aEconomics collection.$x2163-7628 606 $aEconomics$xStatistical methods 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $anull and alternative hypotheses 610 $astandardization 610 $anormal distribution function, 610 $astatistical inference 610 $atest statistics 610 $at distribution function 610 $aF distribution function 610 $aparameter 610 $amean 610 $astandard deviation 610 $ainterpretation and analysis 610 $acoefficient of determination 610 $adegrees of freedom 610 $asampling distribution of sample statistics 610 $astandard error 610 $aunbiased 610 $aconsistent 610 $aefficient 610 $acentral limit theorem 610 $amargin of error 610 $aindividual error 610 $aaverage error 610 $amean squared error 610 $aanalysis of variance (ANOVA) 615 0$aEconomics$xStatistical methods. 676 $a330.015195 700 $aNaghshpour$b Shahdad$0890738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910540210803321 996 $aStatistics for economics$92746086 997 $aUNINA
