Dieses intestine eingef?hrte Lehrbuch liegt inzwischen in der 7. Auflage vor.
Erg?nzt wurden bei dieser Ausgabe die Aufgaben und L?sungen zur angewandten Statistik, die bisher als separater Band erschienen waren.
Behandelt werden die Grundbegriffe der Statistik, speziell elementare Stichprobentheorie, Parametersch?tzung, Konfidenzintervalle, Testtheorie, Regression und Korrelation sowie die Varianzanalyse.
Das Ziel des Autors ist es, die einzelnen Verfahren nicht nur zu beschreiben, sondern auch zu begr?nden, warum sie benutzt werden d?rfen. Dabei wird die entsprechende Theorie elementar und m?glichst anschaulich beschrieben. Manchmal wird auf ein Ergebnis aus der "Elementaren Einf?hrung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung" (vieweg studium, Bd. 25, Basiswissen) verwiesen. Die Begriffsbildung und die entsprechende Motivation werden zu Beginn eines Abschnitts in anschaulichen Beispielen vorgenommen. Weitere Beispiele und durchgerechnete ?bungsaufgaben sollen zum besseren Verst?ndnis beitragen. Das Buch wendet sich an alle Studenten, die w?hrend ihres Studiums mit dem Fach Statistik in Ber?hrung kommen.
