Statistik

This outstanding introduction to statistics imparts data and methodological competence in a unique combination with current, interdisciplinary examples and interactive elements. The textbook has already been awarded several media and innovation prizes for this. Advantages of the fully revised, updated, and expanded seventh edition include:

Excellent suitability for self-study, lectures, and teaching.

The work is used at several universities and covers the usual content of the Statistics I and II lectures. It is ideally suited for professional development, self-study, and as a supplementary resource for statistics instruction in upper secondary education. Code in the widely used programming language R is provided for all exercises.

Practical relevance, interdisciplinarity, and high topicality.

The relevance of data and methodological competence is illustrated through motivating examples and excursions from various application fields of statistics. Connections with media contributions provide inspiration for further considerations. New or significantly updated topics include discussions on artificial intelligence, data collection and visualization, sustainability and income inequality, as well as political monitoring using indicators.

Interactive visualization and innovative media mix.

The fully colored book offers, in addition to videos and podcasts, entirely new interactive visualizations of statistical methods and socially relevant data, which are integrated via QR codes. All interactive elements can also be used independently of the book in lectures or classrooms, for example on smartboards.
