The classic is "How to Lie With Statistics" - published 1954, so may be out of copyright by now and available on the web somewhere. Here's the first one I found - I can't vouch for its quality: http://rapidshare.com/files/1105068...-_Huff_1954.pdf -- JimP There are lies, damn lies, statistics and government statistics. |

Should have been clearer in my OP. |

Obviously it's a very wide area with many domain applications (and hence subsets of favorite statistical tools) but you could take a look here: http://statschoices.open.ac.uk/ Then lookup some of the reference material for the courses.

Just lie like everyone else, or start here: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathemati...eHome/index.htm -- JimP "There is no royal road to mathematics". Normally attributed to Euclid. |
