A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

A clear and accessible statistics text now fully updated and revised

Explaining Psychological Statistics, Third Edition offers students an engaging introduction to the field. Presenting the material in a logically flowing, non–intimidating way, this comprehensive text covers both introductory and advanced topics in statistics, from the basic concepts (and limitations) of null hypothesis testing to mixed–design ANOVA and multiple regression.

New to this edition are sections on MANOVA and robust statistics, as well as expanded coverage of effect–size measures and confidence intervals. This new edition also features an online ancillary package consisting of an instructor′s manual, test bank, and an author–created Web site with a study guide, errata, and supplements. The supplements include computer exercises that use a common data set across all of the chapters and detailed explanations of how to perform each of the exercises and interpret the output in SPSS.

From an Instructor

"I teach a master′s level, one–semester statistics course, and it is a challenge to find a textbook that is at the right level. Barry Cohen′s book is the best one I have found. . . . I like the fact that the chapters have different sections that allow the professor to decide how much depth of coverage to include in his/her course. . . . This is a strong and improved edition of an already good book."
Karen Caplovitz Barrett, PhD, Department of Human Development and Family Studies, Colorado State University

From a Student

"The quality is uniformly good. . . . This is not the first statistics text I have read but it is one of the best."
Michael Dosch, CRNA, MS, Doctoral Student in College of Education, Wayne State University

A comprehensive statistics text for graduate students

Explaining Psychological Statistics, Second Edition successfully bridges the gap between statistics and research methods courses by incorporating research methods throughout the text.

• Multiple regression, the regression approach to one– and two–way ANOVA, and ANCOVA
• Advanced topics, such as the intraclass correlation, the analysis of Latin–square designs, and the analysis of trend components
• Relevant research designs for numerous areas of psychological research

Early Reviews of the Second Edition"I like the presentation of the summaries and exercises at the end of blocks of material rather than just at the end of the chapter . . . students need to start active work earlier on they aren’t generally good at things quantitative and need frequent homework and review." DR. JOHN PITTENGER, University of Arkansas, Little Rock On the integration of research methods and statistics: "I have been using several texts at the same time and have not found a text that combines [this] feature. I believe that this text can serve that function." DR. RONAN BERNAS, Eastern Illinois University
