Описание: Expert testimony relying on scientific and other specialized evidence has come under increased scrutiny by the legal system. A trilogy of recent U.S. Supreme
Court cases has assigned judges the task of assessing the relevance and reliability of proposed expert testimony.
In conjunction with the Federal judiciary, the American
Association for the Advancement of Science has initiated a project to provide judges indicating a need with their own expert. This concern with the proper interpretation of scientific
evidence, especially that of a probabilistic nature, has also occurred in England, Australia and in several European countries."Statistical Science in the Courtroom" is a collection of
articles written by statisticians and legal scholars who have been concerned with problems arising in the use of statistical evidence. A number of articles describe DNA evidence and the
difficulties of properly calculating the probability that a random individual's profile would "match" that of the evidence as well as the proper way to interpret the result.
In
addition to the technical issues, several authors tell about their experiences in court. A few have become disenchanted with their involvement and describe the events that led them to
devote less time to this application. Other articles describe the role of statistical evidence in cases concerning discrimination against minorities, product liability, environmental regulation,
the appropriateness and fairness of sentences and how being involved in legal statistics has raised interesting statistical problems requiring further research.

Описание: Success through Statistics: Applying Metacognitive Skills to Social Science Research encourages students to recognize and cultivate self-efficacy, self-monitoring, resilience, and other metacognitive and executive function skills to overcome internal and external obstacles related to the study of statistics. The text covers the concepts introduced in a foundational statistics course while simultaneously sharpening students' metacognitive skills to inspire new belief in themselves and nurture academic success. The opening chapters develop the metacognitive framework for the statistical concepts presented throughout. Later chapters familiarize readers with statistical research methods and designs and types of measurement and data. Students form a strong understanding of basic statistical concepts and learn how to develop and test a hypothesis. Dedicated chapters discuss normal distributions and measures of variability, simple statistics with two variables, correlations and the chi-square test of independence, analysis of variance, and multiple correlation and linear regression. The text concludes with a chapter about nonparametric tests. Applied learning exercises throughout reinforce the material and immerse students in the metacognitive framework. Innovative and approachable, Success through Statistics is an ideal text for foundational courses in the discipline.
