Which statistics book?

[faizlo]

Hi,

Well, I thought posting this question here is more relevant.
I want to self-study a book about error analysis and data fitting. I have two books available, the one by bevington and robinson: "Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences" and the one by taylor: "An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements"

I would like your opinion, which one should I start with? I am doing an experimental particle physics research and I need to know about error analysis and data fitting.

thanks in advance,

either is good, bevington is a classic.

I'm using Taylor and it's great.
