Reviews
"It's written like a transcript of a conversation of a stats person trying to explain the fundamentals of causal inference to a smart friend who doesn't really know much about statistics. It makes the subject fun. I actually found myself smiling while reading it. I wish I'd had this book in grad school."--Sarah E. Croco, University of Maryland"Real Stats is a new type of introductory statistics book, one grounded in contemporary understandings of causal inferences, that introduces students to essential statistical concepts in an engaging, accessible, yet serious fashion. This book's policy orientation and ample use of important, relevant examples will motivate students, and its careful and up-to-date explanation of key concepts will provide a firm foundation for both future courses and work in policy and legal environments."--Christopher Way, Cornell University"The three real advantages of the book are its accessibility, its focus on endogeneity, and its reliance on regression. This is exactly how I think the class should be taught. Real Stats will engage students better than any other book."-David Peterson, Iowa State University, "It's written like a transcript of a conversation of a stats person trying to explain the fundamentals of causal inference to a smart friend who doesn't really know much about statistics.
