This is where to start learning econometrics on your own.

This is the BEST book for learning statistics for business or a more advanced course in econometrics (i.e., dealing with problems presented by economics data, such as heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation). If you haven't taken a probability and statistics course immediately before the intermediate econometrics course, you MUST get this book and do as many of the exercises as possible. If you're starting a job in consulting, you MUST study this book before you start your job. The text and exercises rely on EXCEL. I've been teaching this stuff for 20 years, and I didn't really learn the "Data Analysis Tools" in EXCEL until to taught a course with this book. (And the author actually answers email!) The rate of return on this book is about 1000%, i.e., for $40 your lifetime earnings will increase over $4000 (not including the time you put into studying EVERY page). Just do it!

If you want to understand....

business statistics and at the same time learn how to use Excel statistical features, buy this book. Neufeld's emphasis is very much on using the power of Excel as a "tool" to convey an good understanding of the statistics. And having recently tried to brush up my Statistics using the traditional text book approach... So, if you're one of those who likes to really understand what's going on you'll like this book.

Great for MBA students!!!

I'm going back to school and really needed to brush up on my statistics. This book did the trick and I'll use what I learned from it for the rest of my career.

Excellent book for Graduate Business Students

This is one of the best text books in Business Statistics that I have come across which not only is theoretically excellent but also helps you master Excel. I think this author should seriously think of adding some more chapters like Conjoint analysis so that it is helpful to PhD students like me. On a whole, an excellent text book for all graduate students. A must for all graduate business students.
