Customer Reviews

Excellent supplement to Damodar Gujrati

As a student of Econometrics, I really liked the book by Damodar Gujrati though I feel that book has too few examples and is rather verbose. This book by Schaums could be an excellent supplement to Gujrati. The book covers basics for any student of Stats. Great price, nice examples.

What a surprise!

This is an extremely useful book for review or as an adjunct to a conventional, mathematically dense econometrics text. The authors write in a lucid style that makes difficult ideas easy to understand. They make liberal use of informative graphs and tables, and they include numerous examples to clarify their explanations. If I encountered an econometric concept or procedure that simply defied understanding, this book would be the first place I'd turn for clarification. The authors are blessed with the gift of succinctness: they say a great deal of substantive importance using very few words, and the words they choose are just the right ones to help the reader understand what's going on.

Best you can buy for the price

I am giving four star because its coverage is really not good. But i knew that when I was buying it so it really deserve four star. It is good if you want to remember things but its almost useless for graduate level. There are lots of topics missing and there is almost ni proof. But for the pirce it is a good review book to many problems and examples.

It got me through Econometrics

This was an extremely useful book for the understanding of Statistics and Econometrics. Each topic had examples to show how the formulas work. The computer chapter went over the programming in SAS, Excel, and Eviews for the problems in the book. Best of all, the problems had answers. This is a must-have for beginning statistics and econometrics since it starts from scratch, and for theory students in search of an application.
