  • Covers a range of statistics taught at undergraduate level. 
  • Presents varied, adaptable solutions to common problems.
  • Embeds road-tested best practice into every stage of your analysis. 
  • Provides you with programming skills that boost your employability.
  • Gives any essential theory in a simple, easy to follow, manner.
