A Guide to Econometrics has established itself as the first-choice text for teachers and students throughout the world who require an intuitive introduction to the subject without the notation and technical detail that characterize most textbooks. This overview has enabled students to make sense more easily of what instruct
One of the best, and easy to use summary in statistics to check assumptions and ensure correct analysis. Statistics are more abused than used, which renders this book a superior reference against common-day abuses.
A very good treatment of what Econometrics is, in plain English. Use a good undergrad book, this and book like Goldberger to supplement your undoubtedly unreadable PhD level textbook.
A book such as this serves no purpose in this day and age when one can easily get terse summaries of different statistical and econometric techniques from Wikipedia. This book has an awful lot of words but very few examples of how to apply many of techniques in practice, so often it doesn't really help when you have a confusion that you're trying to clear up. If William Greene's Econometric Analysis is too mathematical, at least it has good examples of how to apply that math and sometimes the math can yield good intuition.
This book certainly doesn't claim to be the most rigorous text and so I don't judge it as such, but it also provide very little value if what you seek is intuition. Better to skip it and find another book.
Gotta say, for a subject that I really struggle with, this was a great read. The author does a good job explaining things conceptually. This will be something I buy and keep for a reference!
