Book Reviews of How to Lie with Statistics
Book Review: Shows anyone can manipulate statistics - Essential reading
Summary: 5 Stars
Are you normally impressed when someone is using statistics? You will think twice about numbers after reading this book. In a very humurous and easy to understand way it illustrates how data can easily be manipulated to prove almost anything. I think this book is essential reading material for anyone who has to deal with numbers (e.g. market researchers) and very interesting material for everybody else. After reading this book you will be able to spot statistical lies more easily.
