Reviews
"There is a great need for a text to discuss the misconceptions in order to eliminate the myths… The author writes exceptionally well." - Nancy L. Leech, University of Colorado at Denver
"I sometimes feel that I spend as much time getting my students to ‘unlearn’ wrong ideas as I do getting them to learn new material … I have always been impressed by the clarity of Dr. Huck’s writing … I could well imagine adopting the book as a secondary text in the graduate-level introductory psychology statistics course [and] recommend it to students who come to me for statistical consulting." - Scott Maxwell, University of Notre Dame
"Readable, great examples… and actually fun… The Internet exercises will go a long way in terms of illustrating the misconception… [useful] at either the undergraduate or graduate level." - Richard Lomax, The Ohio State University
"[An] innovative and much-needed focus on the misconceptions that abound around statistical methods … I consider [the author's books] to be among the best … available for the undergraduate curriculum." - Joseph S. Rossi, University of Rhode Island
