Guide to basic statistical methods

This clear publication with many examples and case studies is intended primarily for students of economics at universities and people from economic or technical practice. It introduces the reader to basic statistical methods and practical applications of statistics. The first part of the book is devoted to descriptive statistics, the second to basic knowledge of probability calculus, and the third to selected methods of inductive statistics, e.g. construction of confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression and correlation analysis, etc. After a brief theoretical introduction, you will find sample problems and examples for independent work on each sub-topic. The solutions to the problems are accompanied by detailed annotated computer outputs and, of course, instructions on how to arrive at these outputs.
