An updated and revised edition of the popular introduction to statistics for students of economics or business, suitable for a one- or two-semester course. Presents an approach that is generally available only in much more advanced texts, yet uses the simplest mathematics consistent with a sound presentation.

This Fifth Edition includes a wealth of new problems and examples (many of them real-life problems drawn from the literature) to support the theoretical discussion. Emphasizes the regression model, including nonlinear and multiple regression. Topics covered include randomization to eliminate bias, exploratory data analysis, graphs, expected value in bidding, the bootstrap, path analysis, robust estimation, maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian estimation and decisions.

This e-book is a complete interactive study guide with quizzing functionality that reports to the instructor. The on-line text also has animated figures and graphs that bring the print graphic to life for deeper understanding.

This book is geared toward students majoring in fields other than math or engineering. This text assumes students have been exposed to intermediate algebra, and it focuses on the applications of statistical knowledge rather than the theory behind it.

This text is for an introductory level probability and statistics course with an intermediate algebra prerequisite. The focus of the text follows the American Statistical Association's Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE).

This book puts a heavy emphasis on exploratory data analysis and provides a thorough discussion of simulation-based inference using randomization and bootstrapping, followed by a presentation of the related Central Limit Theorem based approaches.

This book is designed for students taking an introductory statistics class. The emphasis throughout the entire book is on how to make decisions with only partial evidence. It focuses on the thought process.

If you know how to program, you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas, using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics.

A masterful guide to how the inferential bases of classical statistics can provide a principled disciplinary frame for the data science of the twenty-first century. Every aspiring data scientist should carefully study this book, use it as a reference.

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to forecasting methods and presents enough information about each method for readers to use them sensibly. Examples use R with many data sets taken from the authors' own consulting experience.

This book aim to provide an accessible though technically solid introduction to the logic of systematical analyses of statistical data to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, in particular in the Social Sciences, Economics, and the Financial Services.

Scientific progress depends on good research, and good research needs good statistics. But statistical analysis is tricky to get right, even for the best and brightest of us. You'd be surprised how many scientists are doing it wrong.

The goal is to help you learn How to Tell the Truth with Statistics and, therefore, how to tell when others are telling the truth ... or are faking their "news". Covers Data Analysis, Binomial and normal models, Sample statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, etc.

An introduction to basic mathematical and statistical concepts for use in MPP courses in economics and quantitative methods. The course is designed to give students of all abilities a general introduction to the principles and reasoning underlying quantitative methods for public policy analysis. It explores how quantitative methods and analysis are used in public policy analysis, and gives students a grounding in some fundamental concepts and applications across maths and statistics. This is a four-day course covering in particular:

- Statistics: Correlation and causality in social sciences, descriptive statistics and visualisation, discrete and continuous random variables, basic probability, expectation and variance, the Normal distribution, covariance and conditioning, sampling and the Central Limit Theorem, estimation and confidence intervals, and introduction to hypothesis testing.

- Mathematics: Maths basics & notation, linear functions, quadratic, logarithmic and exponential functions, data visualisation, graphing, logs and exponential, derivative of a function and rules of differentiation, unconstrained optimization with one variable, unconstrained optimization with several variables, concavity and convexity.

Notes covering the course material will be made available at the beginning of the course.

For a basic and accessible introduction to quantitative methods for public policy, students are encouraged to read Charles Whelan's 'Naked Statistics' prior to the start of the course.

Students may refer to other introductory books for further background reading. For the statistics part, please see Newbold, Carlson and Thorne 'Statistics for Business and Economics' (6th edition), or Wonnacott and Wonnacott 'Introductory Statistics for Business and Economics' (4th edition). For the maths part, please see Ian Jacques' 'Mathematics for Economics and Business' (5th edition), or Wisniewski's 'Introductory Mathematical Methods in Economics' (2nd edition). It is not necessary to purchase these books however for this course.

The course will be assessed with a 2 hour in-class assessment on the final day of the course in week zero. The assessment result does not count towards the MPP final degree, but can be used by students to identify their key areas for future learning. All students are expected to take the assessment.

Please note that during 2021/22 academic year some variation to teaching and learning activities may be required to respond to changes in public health advice and/or to account for the differing needs of students in attendance on campus and those who might be studying online. For example, this may involve changes to the mode of teaching delivery and/or the format or weighting of assessments. Changes will only be made if required and students will be notified about any changes to teaching or assessment plans at the earliest opportunity.

An introduction to basic mathematical and statistical concepts for use in MPA courses in economics and quantitative approaches. The course covers the following topics: Statistics: Discrete and continuous random variables, jointly distributed random variables, the Normal distribution, sampling and the Central Limit Theorem, properties of estimators, introduction to hypothesis testing. Mathematics: Linear functions, quadratic, logarithmic and exponential functions, the derivative of a function and rules of differentiation, unconstrained optimization with one variable, functions of several variables and their differentiation, unconstrained optimization with several variables, constrained optimization.

Notes covering the course material will be made available at the beginning of the course. Students are strongly encouraged to read Charles Whelan's 'Naked Statistics' prior to the start of the course. It provides a readable and accessible background to the statistics portion of the course. Two widely used introductory statistics books that can be used as background reading for the statistics part are Newbold, Carlson and Thorne 'Statistics for Business and Economics' (6th edition) and Wonnacott and Wonnacott 'Introductory Statistics for Business and Economics' (4th edition). However, there are also many other introductory statistics textbooks that cover the same material.

Two widely used introductory mathematics books that can be used a background reading for the mathematics part are Ian Jacques' 'Mathematics for Economics and Business' (5th edition) and Wisniewski's 'Introductory Mathematical Methods in Economics' (2nd edition). Also in this case there are a large number of excellent alternative textbooks that cover the same material. Those who want a more advanced treatment of the same material can use Simon and Blume's 'Mathematics for Economists', but this treatment is more formal than what we require for this course. We do not recommend buying a new textbook for this course, if you already own a textbook that covers similar material.

The course will be assessed with a one hour in-class assessment at the end of the second week of teaching. The assessment result does not count towards the MPA final degree, but can be used by students to identify their key areas for future learning. All students are expected to take the assessment.
