Features: This textbook takes data as the main thread, introducing various data analysis methods and their applications, including: data, ratio analysis, static average analysis, difference analysis, dynamic analysis, index analysis, factor analysis, predictive analysis, sampling estimation, and the application of computers in statistical analysis. Based on the requirements of vocational education, this textbook boldly reforms the traditional content system of textbooks, shifting its focus from primarily serving government statistical work to serving economic management, enterprise management, and specialized courses, thereby becoming a powerful tool for management work. It discards unnecessary theoretical explanations, such as the research object and nature of statistics, symbols and indicators, and harmonic mean, while adding content commonly used in specialized courses and management work but not included in traditional textbooks, such as factor analysis, risk analysis, comprehensive evaluation of economic benefits, expected mean, and seasonal forecasting. This makes the course content system more scientific, practical, and applicable, better serving management work.
