More endorsements for Gary Smith's Standard Deviations
25 Apr 2014

‘Its entertaining; its gossipy; its insightful; its destined to be a classic. Based on a life-time of experience unravelling the methodical blunders that remain all too frequent, this book communicates Gary Smith’s wisdom about how not to do a data analysis. Smith’s engaging rendering of countless painful mistakes will help readers avoid the pitfalls far better than merely mastering theorems.’ Edward E. Leamer, Chauncey J. Medberry Professor, UCLA

‘Gary Smith is brilliant when it comes to writing lively and understandable statistical analysis, and Standard Deviations is his best work to date. It joins Darrell Huff’s How to Lie With Statistics as a “must read” classic in the field.’ Woody Studenmund
