《商务统计:决策与分析(英文版)》启发性案例:每章都从一个商业案例开始,提出问题并引出该章内容。4M示例:4M(动机、方法、实施、结论)的问题解决策略为学生解决商务问题提供了清晰的思路。每个4M示例都先提出一个商业问题,然后引导学生寻求解决该问题的最佳统计方法,使用统计软件实现,并说明分析结果。
陷阱:为避免发生常见错误,每章结尾处给出一些有用的提示。
软件提示:每章都有关于运用Excel(2003和2007)、Minitab和JMP进行计算的提示。
背后的数学:在多数章节的最后,提供了一些有趣的技术细节,以解释某些重要结论,如对某个基本公式的证明或解释。
实际的统计案例研究:每部分最后都包括两个深度案例研究,这些案例使用真实数据,涉及股票价格、经理人薪酬、企业债券违约、零售额管理和过程控制等方面。
随书光盘中包括纯文本、Excel、Minitab 14、Minitab 15和SPSS(PASW)格式的数据集文件以及Excel的一个统计学插件DDXL。
内容简介
现在商业竞争日益激烈,有效做出商务决策变得至关重要。本书从实际的商业问题出发,详细阐述如何利用数据进行信息决策,并将统计概念与实际问题联系起来,告诉读者如何寻找模式从数据建立统计模型,以及如何提供调查结果。书中涵盖了应用统计学在当代商务经济领域中几乎所有的重要应用,并且统计软件(包括Excel、Minitab等)的使用贯穿全书。
