Un tesoro nazionale statistico' Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2 'Lettura obbligatoria per tutti i politici, giornalisti, medici e chiunque cerchi di influenzare le persone (o sia influenzato) dalle statistiche. Un tour de force' Scienza popolare Gli ospedali più affollati hanno tassi di sopravvivenza più elevati? Quanti alberi ci sono sul pianeta? Perché gli anziani hanno le orecchie grandi? David Spiegelhalter rivela le risposte a queste e a molte altre domande, domande che possono essere affrontate solo utilizzando la scienza statistica. La statistica ha svolto un ruolo di primo piano nella nostra comprensione scientifica del mondo per secoli, eppure siamo tutti familiari con il modo in cui le affermazioni statistiche possono essere sensazionalizzate, in particolare nei media. Nell'era dei big data, mentre la scienza dei dati si afferma come disciplina, una conoscenza di base dell'alfabetizzazione statistica è più importante che mai. In The Art of Statistics, David Spiegelhalter guida il lettore attraverso i principi essenziali di cui abbiamo bisogno per ricavare conoscenza dai dati. Basandosi su problemi del mondo reale per introdurre questioni concettuali, ci mostra come le statistiche possono aiutarci a determinare il passeggero più fortunato del Titanic, se il serial killer Harold Shipman avrebbe potuto essere catturato prima e se lo screening per il cancro ovarico è utile. ''Fa luce su come possiamo usare il diluvio di dati in continua crescita per migliorare la nostra comprensione del mondo'' Nature.

Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter FRS OBE is Emeritus Professor of Statistics at the University of Cambridge. His bestselling book The Art of Statistics has been published in eleven languages. He was knighted in 2014 for services to medical statistics, was President of the Royal Statistical Society (2017 – 2018) and became a Non-Executive Director of the UK Statistics Authority in 2020.
Do busier hospitals have higher survival rates? How many trees are there on the planet? Why do old men have big ears? David Spiegelhalter reveals the answers to these and many other questions - questions that can only be addressed using statistical science.
Statistics has played a leading role in our scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all familiar with the way statistical claims can be sensationalised, particularly in the media. In the age of big data, as data science becomes established as a discipline, a basic grasp of statistical literacy is more important than ever.
In The Art of Statistics, David Spiegelhalter guides the reader through the essential principles we need in order to derive knowledge from data. Drawing on real world problems to introduce conceptual issues, he shows us how statistics can help us determine the luckiest passenger on the Titanic, whether serial killer Harold Shipman could have been caught earlier, and if screening for ovarian cancer is beneficial.
