This is an extremely useful book for review or as an adjunct to a conventional, mathematically dense econometrics text. The author writes in a lucid style that makes difficult ideas easy to understand. He makes liberal use of informative graphs and tables, and he includes numerous examples to clarify the explanations. If I encountered an econometric concept or procedure that simply defied understanding, this book would be the first place I'd turn for clarification. The author is blessed with the gift of succinctness: he says a great deal of substantive importance using very few words, and the words he chooses are just the right ones to help the reader understand what's going on.
This was an extremely useful book for the understanding of Statistics and Econometrics. Each topic had examples to show how the formulas work. The computer chapter went over the programming in SAS, Excel, and Eviews for the problems in the book. Best of all, the problems had answers. This is a must-have for beginning statistics and econometrics since it starts from scratch, and for theory students in search of an application.
As a student of Econometrics, I really liked the book by Damodar Gujrati though I feel that book has too few examples and is rather verbose. This book by Schaums could be an excellent supplement to Gujrati. The book covers basics for any student of Stats. Great price, nice examples.
I have used Schaum's since the early 70s and have 40-50 of them. They have all been exceptionally good references and a great help for college courses.
excellent for reminding you the basics of stats and metrics... very good to have, it can be very handy sometimes
Helped me get an A in a class where I was very confused for a few weeks. Econometrics is still mystifying to me, but this did help me grasp enough to pass my exams and do my homework.
I needed a reference book for some logit modelling and found this to be just right. It is a quick read and the exercises enabled me to test my recollection in other areas too.
It is a very good book. It starts very basic but it goes deeper into econometrics after some chapters.Very easy to understand... I would totally recommended!
