You will learn to make interactive graphs in Excel of both the PDF and CDF (Probability Density Function and Cumulative Distribution Function) for most of these statistical distributions. The interactive Excel graphs that you will soon be able to construct will allow you to vary each and every one of the distribution's parameters right on the spreadsheet and then watch the distribution's Excel graph instantaneously change shape as a result of the new parameters that you just entered. You will become an expert in graphing statistical distributions in Excel. You will also become an expert at the distributions themselves. This book is loaded with completed problems and screenshots in Excel of all eight of the major statistical distributions. The instructions are clear and easy-to-follow but at the graduate level. Nothing but simple explanations all taught in small-bite-size lessons. The emphasis is on problem solving, not on useless, complicated, hard-to-apply theory that fills many statistics course. If you are currently taking a difficult graduate-level statistics course that covers statistical distributions in detail, you will find this manual to be an outstanding course supplement that will explain statistical distributions much more clearly than your textbook does. Every lesson uses Excel. You'll be glad to know that you'll never have to look up anything on statistical charts ever again. The easy-to-follow statistical distributions problem-solving frameworks in this manual can be cleanly and swiftly duplicated in the real world. If you are a business manager, you will really appreciate how easily and clearly this manual will show you how you can statistical distributions in Excel to solve a wide variety of difficult problems on your job. You already know Excel so no new software is necessary. You don't need SPSS, SAS, SyStat, or Minitab.

Download or read book Practical and Clear Graduate Statistics in Excel - The Excel Statistical Master written by Mark Harmon. This book was released on 2011-03-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete and practical yet easy-to-understand graduate-level statistics course with all of the problems worked out in Excel. Thoroughly covers all topics of an intense graduate statistics course using nothing but step-by-step, simple explanations. Loaded with completed, real-world problems all in Excel, this e-manual is an outstanding supplement to a graduate statistics course. Very clear explanations are used to show exactly how the Excel formulas integrate with the statistical frameworks being applied. The reader will learn how to master and apply graduate-level statistics much faster than a student in a normal graduate statistics course because this e-manual's emphasis is entirely on problem solving, not on useless, forgettable theory that fills up many statistics courses. This e-manual achieves two goals: teaching graduate-level statistical frameworks in an easy-to-understand way and then showing how to implement all of it in Excel. The widely-used Microsoft Excel program provides a very simple but incredibly complete platform to perform heavy-duty, advanced statistical analysis. All other statistical software packages, such as Minitab, SyStat, and SPSS, are expensive, require lots of user training, and expect that the user is an expert statistician right from the start. Not this e-manual nor Microsoft Excel. The ability to perform graduate-level statistics in Excel is an extremely useful and powerful tool for any graduate statistics student and business manager. Homework assignments can be quickly checked with Excel. Once difficult statistical business problems are now readily solvable in Excel. The easy-to-follow frameworks in this e-manual can be cleanly and swiftly duplicated in the real world and on statistics exams by hand (without Excel) right away. The lessons are all in bite-size chunks that are quickly absorbed for immediate use. More than half of the lessons in this e-manual are supplemented with step-by-step videos for more convenient learning. Some of the major topics covered in detail include regression, ANOVA, hypothesis tests, confidence intervals, combinations, permutations, correlation, covariance, t-tests, histograms, and charting. This e-manual also contains two complete chapters with numerous videos showing exactly how to create user-interactive graphs of the 10 major distributions in Excel. These user-interactive Excel graphs allow the user to vary the cells containing all of the distribution's parameters, such as mean, standard deviation, and degrees of freedom, and watch the graphed distribution instantly change right on the spreadsheet to conform to the new parameters. This is an excellent and unique tool to fully grasp the functionality of the distributions discussed in this e-manual. All problem-solving techniques are presented as step-by-step frameworks that can be readily applied to similar problems, not as seemingly unrelated and difficult-to-apply statistical theorems like most statistics course do. A number of problem-solving techniques are presented in this e-manual that do not appear in any other statistical text. One example of a statistical technique presented only in this e-manual and nowhere else is a detailed description showing how to solve every type of hypothesis test using the same four steps. A number of widely-used and complicated statistical tests, such as the chi-square independence test, the chi-square population variance test, and conjoint analysis using dummy variable regression are described from top to bottom and also in Excel. Graduate statistics students and business managers will find this e-manual to be, by far, the easiest and fastest way to master graduate-level statistics and to apply advanced statistics in Excel to solve difficult, real-world problems, homework assignments, and exam questions. The reader of this e-manual will quickly become an Excel Statistical Master.

The interactive Excel graphs that you will soon be able to construct will allow you to vary each and every one of the distribution's parameters right on the spreadsheet and watch the distribution's Excel graph instantaneously change shape as a result of the new parameters that you just entered. For example, you will be able to vary either of the Normal Distribution's two parameters, the mean and standard deviation, and then watch how the new parameters instantly change the shape of the graph on the Excel spreadsheet. It is an outstanding way to quickly master all of the distributions and fully understand what effect each parameter has on the shape of the graph of a particular distribution. One entertaining example of this is to watch the Chi-Square Distribution's graph resemble a wave rolling from left to right across the spreadsheet as the Chi-Square Distribution's only parameter, its degrees of freedom, is increased. You'll see exactly how to graph each distribution by simply following the numerous screen shots throughout this manual. The beginning of this manual has a special section which provides detailed instructions about how to create the graph of a generic distribution on a Excel spreadsheet. It is a lot simpler than you might imagine. This manual will make you an Excel Statistical Master at creating user-interactive graphs in Excel of the eight most well-known statistical distributions.
