“I Hate Statistics” has been written with the focus on the understanding of statistical reasoning and not on mathematical and theoretical underpinnings. It aims to provide health professionals, who generally have a phobia about statistics, with some basic understanding of the subject. While this book can work as a very clear introductory text for the beginner, it can also work well as the easy ongoing shelf reference. What is especially valuable is that the essentials are all there in one short volume.
