Hello all,

My wife wants to brush up on her Statistics. She took 2 or 3 graduate level Stats classes geared toward Clinical Psychologists about 6 years ago. She no longer has her textbook and cannot remember (or won't remember) it's name. So if anyone has a good Stat. Textbook for her to brush up on things I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.

Statistics is a really wide area of mathematics with applications with probably every known field you could get in college and life. Considering that it was graduate statistics, it must've been specific to a certain field, namely clinical psychology I suppose. I would have no idea what types of statistics would be needed in this case unfortunately T_T. I guess I'll help bump instead ^^

A general introduction book would be fine I think. She is just looking to refresh herself with Statistics in general.
Cheers,

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
