Chapter Chapter 1 in Statistical Methods, 1996, pp 1-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In §1.1 of this chapter we discuss the aim of this book. In §1.2 and §1.3 we pictorially introduce the geometric ideas upon which the most commonly used statistical methods are based. In §1.4 we mention an alternative to the usual t or F test statistics, and in §1.5 we mention estimation of confidence intervals. In §1.6 we describe the layout of the book and in §1.7 we have a word with teachers. Lastly, in §1.8 we mention other authors who have dealt with these geometric ideas.
