Starting with the Shannon-Wiener approach to mathematical information theory, allowing a mathematical "e;measurement"e; of an amount of information, the book begins by defining the terms message and information and axiomatically assigning an amount of information to a probability.
Interpreting poll data as a prediction of election outcomes is a practice as old as the field, rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of what poll data means.
This is the first textbook that allows readers who may be unfamiliar with matrices to understand a variety of multivariate analysis procedures in matrix forms.
This volume focuses on the abuse of statistical inference in scientific and statistical literature, as well as in a variety of other sources, presenting examples of misused statistics to show that many scientists and statisticians are unaware of, or unwilling to challenge the chaotic state of statistical practices.
