Foundations of Applied Statistical Methods

The book "Foundations of Applied Statistical Methods" offers a comprehensive introduction to applied statistics for researchers who design experiments, conduct statistical inference, and write technical reports. It is aimed at readers who want to expand their fundamental statistics knowledge and apply it to practical scenarios without focusing too much on technical details. A key element of the text is the demonstrations that support the learning process. Mathematical expressions are presented only when they are defined or intuitively understandable. The book can be used both as a guide for applied researchers and as an introduction to statistical methods for students who do not major in statistics. The topics covered include basic probability models, inference of means, proportions, correlations, and regressions, as well as methods for analyzing censored survival time data and determining sample size.
