This book proposes to reverse the way statistics is taught, by starting with the introduction of linear models. Today, many statisticians know that the one unifying principle of statistical tests is that most of them are instances of linear models.
-Explains statistics without using a single equation.
-Accessible to the layperson.
-Gives the reader the opportunity to work through the examples themselves, using pen and paper.
