章节摘录

版权页：插图：Suddenly, the initial pricing question branches into several questions, andthe answers depend on whom you ask. There's variation among customers;customers react differently. One customer might be willing to pay $300whereas another would pay only $200. Once you recognize these differencesamong customers, how are you going to set one price？ Statistics shows howto use your data——what you know about your product and your customers——to set a price that will attract business and earn a profit.  Here's another interesting question: Why does a shopper choose a particu-lar box of cereal？ Modern grocers have become information-rich retailers,tracking every item purchased by each patron. That's why they give out per-sonalized shopping cards; they're paying customers with discounts in returnfor tracking purchases. Customers keep retailers off balance because theydon't buy the same things every time they shop. Did the customer buy that boxof cereal because it was conveniently positioned at the end of an aisle,because he or she had a discount coupon, or simply because a six-year-old justsaw a commercial while watching Sponge Bob？ Again, variation makes thequestion hard to answer. If they find that coupons improve sales, store man-agers might decide to place more advertising in the local newspaper.Patterns and HodelsStatistics helps you answer questions by providing methods designed to han-dle variation. These methods filter out the clutter by revealing patterns. Apattern in data is a systematic, predictable feature. If customers who receivecoupons buy more cereal than customers without coupons, there's a pattern.   Patterns form one part of a statistical model. A statistical model describesthe variation in data as the combination of a pattern plus a background ofremaining, unexplained variation. The pattern in a statistical model describesthe variation that we claim to understand. The pattern tells us what we cananticipate in new data and thus goes beyond describing the data we observe.Often, an equation can summarize the pattern in a precise mathematicalform. Background variation represents variation due to factors we cannot ex-plain because we lack enough information to do so. For instance, retail salesincrease during holiday seasons. Retailers recognize this pattern and prepareby increasing inventories and hiring extra employees. It's impossible, though,for retailers to know exactly which items customers will want and how muchthey ~ spend. The pattern does not explain everything.   Good statistical models simplify reality to help us answer questions. Indeed,the word mode/once meant the blueprints, the plans, for a building. Plans answersome questions about the building. How large is the building？ Where are thebathrooms？ The model isn't the building, but we can learn a lot from the model.A model of an airplane in a wind tunnel provides insights about flight eventhough it doesn't mimic every detail of flight. Models of data provide answers toquestions even though those answers may not be entirely right. A famous statisti-cian, George Box, once said, "All models are wrong, but some are useful."

•   有兴趣的可以看一看，是全英的教材。没有翻译的
•   这是一本商务统计方面很好的书，前些天在海图买的，花了92，整整贵了10元啊！不过，这本书确实很好，我今天看了第一章，通俗易懂，是初学者学习商务统计的明智之选！
