Provides what it says it will

I bought an earlier edition of this text ten years ago. I've found it to be extremely useful. The tests are clearly explained with just enough information to be sure they are correctly applied and properly interpreted. The numerous tables in the back of the book assure that the right sampling distribution is used with each test. I don't use the book every day or even every week, but it's good to know it's there when I need it. Occasionally I leaf through it just because it's fun to do so. Money well spent!

Another good stat book

Nice book to find out of the way stat tests for engineer and design related efforts. Also for process control and clinical testing.

Useful reference

A very useful general reference; even thick textbooks usually list only a subset of these tests -- and not in a uniform reference.

If you have the data but still can't explain your conclusion

then this book is for you. Do you want to know if you were discriminated against, at some confidence level? Do you want to know if the moon phase affects the NASDAQ? If Bush High School seniors score an average of 74 and Gore High School seniors score an average of 73, is Bush High really statistically better than Gore High? These are just a few of the millions of tests that can be done with this book. If you believe in the saying, "In God we trust; all others bring data," then you'll love this book, especailly if you can force your peers to use it.

Very Succinct, Efficient, Applicable & Effective!

This reference text gives busy people at work exactly what they want, the way they want it. They know their data needs, so they look up the clear list of tests to find the test that meets that need, and follow the simple steps to implement it: assumptions, method, equation, and a brief example. No theory, no blabbing, just to the point and ready for use. Saves time, and reading. Also, having so many tests saves the hassle of looking for a specific test somewhere in the library. This is a complete investment!
