Discovering Statistics Using R

Fantasy meets crime caper in the first book of a landmark, enduringly popular epic series about a roguish group of conmen, which George R. R. Martin has called "fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized." An orphan's life is harsh--and often short--in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges relentless danger, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentlemen Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld's most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game--or die trying.

Elliott）、董玥、黃樂嫣（Gloria Davies）、齊慕實（Timothy Cheek）、白傑明（Geremie R. Barmé） 聯合撰寫長篇導讀 1960年代，約瑟夫．列文森（Joseph R. Levenson, 1920–1969）與舒扶瀾（Franz Schurmann, 1926–2010）在加州大學伯克利分校開設中國歷史課程，其講義中關於「早期中國」的部分在列文森身後出版，即本書《詮釋中國史：從源起到漢亡》。 與一般中國通史不同，本書在敘述史實之外，逐章引入對思想史中關鍵概念和框架的辨析，進而對歷史書寫和研究作出深刻的反思。在列文森看來，中國歷史不僅是某種基於朝代更迭、簡單遞進的連續過程，而是「極度的多樣性，一次又一次地將中國重構成統一的整體」。

本書特色 這是一本因應電腦世代 (computer age) 所寫成的統計學教科書。書中增加了有關 R 語言的介紹,並盡可能在各個章節中,說明電腦以及 R 語言如何在機率與統計推論上,發揮其功用。其中,我們在第 19 章介紹蒙地卡羅模擬與 Bootstrap 樣本重抽法,希望讀者對於如何以電腦運算能力輔助統計推論能有一較為深入的認識。本書的章節安排,是根據我在台大經濟系講授 「統計學」 課程的多年教學經驗所整理出之架構。在介紹完機率模型後,緊接著介紹單變量與多變量隨機變數。關於動差的討論,則是從隨機變數的章節抽離出來,獨立成為第 5 章。同時,亦將常態分配以及與其相關的重要分配如卡方分配,學生 t 分配與 F 分配等,以一獨立章節 (第 6 章) 介紹。這本書的設計目標是,讓學生在得到足以駕馭統計推論的機率理論 (隨機變數,動差,常態分配,抽樣分配與大樣本理論) 之後,就開始一窺統計推論之堂奧。至於其他常用的離散與連續隨機變數,則移到統計推論相關章節的後面,因此,如果是一學期的統計課程,只要專注在第 1 到 11 章即可,關於其他常用離散與連續隨機變數之介紹,可於學期末得空時再補充。我在本書中不再討論變異數分析 (ANOVA),有興趣的讀者請自行參考陳旭昇 (2015)。
