Customer comments on this selection.
 good service
I got the item a week after placing its order. The book came in condition describled. Good purchasing experience.
 Pretty good stats book
This book is pretty helpful for someone who does not know a lot about statistics. It also comes with software and instructions to help run some more sophisticated analysis. Very helpful for students and businesspeople alike.
Good practical book, both introduction and reference
Wilson and Keating's "Business Forecasting" is an accessible introduction to practical forecasting. There is little explicit treatment of the statistical properties of the methods used, but the practical examples (which are numerous) show the effects of those properties. The methods should get a manager or engineer through most situations that require a justifiable forecast. I'm a bug on references, and there were an adequate number of them, but it would have been better if the reason each work was cited was specified.This book is also, in practice, the user manual for the descriptive statistics / forecasting package 'SORITEC,' which is bound with the book. As such, it is absolutely required for beginning users of the package. The features of SORITEC which are covered are covered well, but that sharpens my wish that there would be at least a short description and a few references for the features not used in the main presentation. In summary, a fine book for the 'dirty hands' crowd of forecasters; not bad for the 'ivory tower' crowd either, but not quite enough for the latter
