Methods of correlation analysis (second edition)

Abstract

Reviews the book, Methods of correlation analysis by Mordecai Ezekiel. This is a practical treatment of certain types of problems that confront the research worker in the fields of Social and Economic Statistics. It is not intended as a general text on Elementary Statistics, yet the treatment is complete enough for the practical application of the ideas presented. More complicated mathematical proofs of formulas are omitted or appear only in an appendix. While the mathematical preparation of the reader is not assumed to be more than an understanding of Elementary Algebra, it might be said that to follow the text with profit one should have had an introduction to Mathematical Statistics such as is given in any of the standard elementary texts on the subject.
