 Statistical Methods for the Information Professional
by Liwen Vaughan
For most of us, "painless" is not the word that comes to
mind when we think of statistics, but author and educator Liwen Vaughan wants to change that. In this unique and useful book, Vaughan clearly explains the statistical methods used in information
science research, focusing on basic logic rather than mathematical intricacies. Her emphasis is on the meaning of statistics, when and how to apply them, and
how to interpret the results of statistical analysis. Through the use of real-world examples, she shows how statistics can be used to improve services, make better decisions, and conduct more effective research.
Whether you are doing statistical analysis or simply need to better understand the statistics you encounter in professional literature and the media, this book
will be a valuable addition to your personal toolkit. Includes more than 80 helpful figures and tables, 7 appendices, bibliography, index. 2001
