ISE Business Statistics: Communicating with Numbers

In the fourth edition of Business Statistics, we have made substantial revisions that address the current needs of the market. These revisions are based on the feedback of countless reviewers and users of our earlier edtions.
The emphasis in this editionhas been to strengthen the connection between business statistics and data analytics. More than ever, colleges and universities across the United States and abroad are incorporating business analytics into their curricula, and businesses are scrambling to find qualified professionals who can translate statistical analysis into decisions that improve performance. We believe that the fourth edition will not only introduce students to data analytics, but will also excite them to further explore the field.
There are four major innovations in this edition:
1.Descriptive: More emphasis on data preparation and visualization
2.Predictive: Significant rewrite of regression and forecasting
3.Technology: More reliance on statistical software and Connect
4.Storytelling: More relevant discussion
