Negative Positive
Title: Too complicated for the average person to understand!
Review: After reading the reviews on this book, I purchased it, thinking it would be helpful in clarifying research and basic statistical concepts for me (it's been years since my college statistics courses). Most reviewers seemed to imply that the book presented statistical concepts in ways that would be easy for the average person to understand. However, I found it to be complicated and difficult! I was disappointed in this book, because I struggled to get through it and still don't know any more about general statistical principles than I did before I read it. The book uses numerous mathematical equations without clear enough explanations, which left me totally perplexed. Perhaps the contents and explanations are clear to mathematicians and statisticians, but I think the average person will have a difficult time understanding the content of this book and deriving any benefit from it.
Is the review positive or negative?
