Welcome to the third edition of A Portable Introduction to Data Analysis.

This is a major revision of the textbook, including new examples throughout, exercises at the end of each section, and new data sets at the back of the book, now grouped by the topic of the study. The book also includes additional mathematical background, particularly on important tools such as logarithms.

A minor revision, correcting all known errors, was completed in January 2005.

This third edition is no longer generally available. Limited copies of the A5 and A8 versions are available directly from m.bulmer@uq.edu.au.
