VERY HELPFUL BOOK!.......2007-01-06

I had to take a college Statistics 2 class and this book was much easier to understand than the textbook. This book became attached to me during the class. For anyone having to take a statistics class (even high school level), I highly recommend getting this book to have as a reference guide. The book even shows you how to do the formulas in excel to get the answers needed to questions!

Okay reference. Too many errors........2006-10-29

This book is structured more like a reference than a text. As such, it will be helpful as a second reference source to an actual text book to help clarify concepts. There are many better books out there for instruction.

My biggest problem with this book is the number of errors in the examples. It seems like you can't go 10 pages without running into an error that make you go, "wait a minute... didn't he just say... but now he's saying...???"

A very good example of such an error is on page 239, example 12-1, where the author states a problem that involves a proportion at 60%, then shows the math at 65%. This book is full of these kinds of issues and will, at times, completely throw you off track.

This book will utterly confuse you.......2006-06-05

Do yourself a favor and avoid this book. The book does not explain, it only documents, with heavy and unnecessary use of terminology. If you want to learn and understand, get Bartz's "Basic Statistical Concepts," an excellent book in it's 4th edition.

If you are looking for practical instruction skip this book.......2006-04-28

If you are studying for the GMAT or a similar test, this book might be helpful. However, if you are struggling with a problem and need practical advice on what test to use and how to perform it, pass this book by. I bought this book in part because it said on the cover that it would tell you how to use Excel for statistic. Forget that unless you think being told "this can be done on Excel" is how-to instructions.

Good for teachers/tutors.......2006-04-14

I just picked up this book tonight. It looks great for my purposes, as a math/stats tutor. I am always looking for books with lots of practice questions (and the nice thing is, this book includes true/false; multiple choice; short answer etc. -- very handy for testing students' conceptual knowledge) and this one is full of them!

Also, I wanted a book that the tutors I train could use as a manual -- something without extra fluff, but with enough meat to make the concepts clear. I think this book is well-suited to that purpose: giving to mathematically-oriented people (like my tutors) who maybe don't have a lot of statistics knowledge and expecting them to be able to pick the material up easily.

What is also helpful is the reference to the TI-83/84 calculators and the minitab output. As someone who learned how to do all this by hand, I sometimes find it disorienting to have to rely on computer output with no work on my part (since by doing the calculations, I actually understood what I was computing). It's helpful to have these alternate methods addressed and explained, as I suppose this technology is an evil I'm just going to have to get used to! :)

It looks like the complaints about the first edition have been addressed in this new second edition. The chapter titles are quite clear. (However, I don't mind accurate chapter titles, even if dry or intimidating, since my staff will be using it as a reference -- and we actually DO need to be able to look up material according to the technical terms, and use ths vocabulary to help other students!)

Also, previous reviewers have mentioned that the book left out some key topics such as F-tests, ANOVA etc. These topics are all in the second edition. So, as far as I can tell, this book should cover most intro level Stats I courses (at our Canadian universities, at least!) The link to the table of contents appears to show the first edition TOC. The second edition has an extra chapter (#15) which covers:

15-1 Comparing population means graphically
15-2 Some Terminology associated with ANOVA
15-3 The Hypothesis test of ANOVA
15-4 The Test Statistic and the F Distribution
15-5 One-Way or Single-Factor ANOVA Tests

I do agree that it's a bit (and perhaps only a bit) less dense than a textbook, but I do like the "get right to the heart of it" approach to the material, as well as the loads of practice questions. But again, I'm looking for something that people who are already math-literate can use as a quick reference/teaching guide. The language is not exactly lay-person friendly, but as a curriculum writer myself, I know that's always a trade-off. You want to be true to the language and vocabulary of the material you're explaining, but at the same time, you're often dealing with an audience that doesn't really care too much about being that precise, so long as they get the idea. So what do you do? :) Jaisingh has chosen to keep more traditional (yes, technical/boring) definitions for these concepts for the most part. I don't condemn him for it, but people looking for definitions that don't require thought probably will. Students who are comfortable with math/English should not have significant difficulties tackling this book. Those who are "utterly confused" will likely not find this book as "hand-holding" as perhaps they'd like. Do face this book preparing to actually learn something, and learn the proper terminology for it and a bit of rigor. There are *tons* of explanations of terms and definitions throughout the book. And, in their attempt to be accurate, they do sacrifice some layperson-friendliness.

If I could add one extra topic to this book it would be elementary combinatorics so that students could more easily compute probabilities that relied upon permutations or combinations to count the number of ways an event can happen vs. the number of events in the sample space. I know that this isn't always a part of a Stats class, but here in Ontario, Canada, our senior high school stats class ("Data Managment") involves a significant portion of this material. With this small addition, this book would cover our entire Gr. 12 Data Management course, and I wouldn't need another book to deal with combinatorics.

Statistics tutors looking for something to add to their collection should definitely consider this book. I think it will be useful for tutoring both university Stats I as well as AP Statistics. What I will find most useful is all the definitions (which I suspect I'll have to break down, word-for-word and explain to the students, but at least they're there as a good reference), theorems and practice questions. I would not expect most of my students to be able to teach themselves from this book, but rather to be taught by a tutor using this book. The price is quite reasonable for the content and practice questions, and I have already warned one student who will be taking her Stats I next year at university that I expect her to buy this book. :)

If you really are utterly confused by math, academic-style prose and/or statistics, then this is probably not the book to *teach* yourself with, but if you are taking a stats course, the problems alone should be worth the investment as extra practice.

Amazingly Informative!.......1998-08-24

In his book, Mr. Ira Kawaller covers an amazing range of topics from risk managemant to stock options. I have never read a book so incredibly exciting in all of my life. Mr. Kawaller knows how to display the facts, provide informative facts, and decorate it all with a wit and charm that thrives in his book. "Financial Futures and Options" is THE book for risk management lovers everywhere. This book inspired me to change my career choices. After reading "Futures" (in one sitting!) I knew that prostitution and drug dealing was just not for me. I am now an economist making over $600,000 a year and loving it. Thank you, Mr. Kawaller. You turned my life around. (From what everyone is saying, I believe Mr. Kawaller now runs his own business called Kawaller & Company in Brooklyn, NY. If you ever need help financially, Mr. Kawaller will personally see to it that you get back on track. After all, risk can be managed if it is faced in a disciplined way. Ignore it and you face disaster. E-mail Kawaller and Company at kawaller@idt.net and good luck!)

Trading Currency Cross Rates : Proven Trading Strategies from a Leading International Currency Trader and a Noted Expert on Futu.......2005-09-26

Good book for a feel on cross-rates. Unfortunately written before the advent of the EURO, therefore partially osolete nowadays.

Don't spend your money on this book .......2005-06-02

There are better books out there to spend your money on. The copy I have was printed in 1993 and a lot of things have changed since this first edition.

It is useless for individual traders.

You would be better off to buy John Murphy's books; Mark Douglas' books and John L. Person's book.

Just my humble opinion.

I work in the securities industry, and this book accurately described the markets and products without the detailed mathematics. I would recommend this book as a first reading before the Hull and White book which is much more mathematical.

Too bad it's out of print. I'd like everyone in my group to have a copy.

I consider the book a perfect guide written by a professional for professionals. If you are looking for scientific completeness and complication, go somewhere else. If you are looking for a competent down-to-earth reference, this is your book. I wonder when the third edition of this valuable tool will be published.

Book Description

Description:
This paper estimates a small structural model of the Hong Kong economy using quarterly data for the period 1990 to 2002 on the output gap, CPI, property and import prices, the nominal interest rate and the nominal effective exchange rate. We find that fluctuations in the output gap are mainly driven by external factors, while CPI inflation is also affected by domestic shocks. The paper provides counterfactual simulations of how the economy would have evolved under alternative monetary arrangements. To that end, we simulate the model using an interest rate reaction function of the Taylor type and a Singapore-style reaction function for the nominal effective exchange rate. The results suggest that these regimes would have led to different inflation trajectories but that economic activity would have behaved similarly.

I returned this book upon reviewing it because I was looking for opportunities and ideas on training my new siezure alert dog. I have trained one before w/o the use of any manuals, but I thought it might show some insight on overcoming roadblocks in relation to the dog training.

This particular book turned out to be something a teacher would use in an elementary school setting to teach about the different kinds of dogs, assistance, balance,mobility, and seeing eye and to teach about tolerance.

Book Description

If you have ever wanted to learn more about the concepts and training principles of the "Dog Whispering" world, this "guide" will take you there. Complete with photo illustrations and specific instructions, you'll learn that "obedience techniques" are not just tricks to have a well-mannered dog, but are actually a "communication process" by which you and your dog can avoid misunderstandings. You will enjoy a unique and eye-opening opportunity, maybe for the first time, in understanding what obedience techniques actually mean to the dog. You'll be enlightened about the myths and misconceptions in dog training so you can recognize which training processes can work the best for you and your dog together. You will learn step by step how to be your dog's calm, benevolent leader and how to demonstrate "alpha leader controls" that your dog can naturally relate to. You will learn why and how you will never have to say "no" to your dog again. Plus, you'll learn to recognize different forms of aggression, what they mean and how they can develop and that "Leadership Controls" along with specific "Obedience-Communication" techniques deal with these aggressions, other behavior issues and much more. Through this personal guide, you will discover a less stressful way to train your special four-legged friend and enjoy him more than you ever imagined. It will open your mind and provide common sense insight into the wonderful world of communicating with your dog, just like you have always wanted. You will also recognize that whatever training methodology you choose to employ, that the principles you learn here can be used to enhance the proficiency of any process. If you are seeking that positive and fulfilling relationship with your dog without the confusion, frustration and guesswork, then it already began the moment you picked this book up.
