ISBN: 0805836519 ISBN-13: 9780805836516 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $356.25 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 2012 Annotation: This comprehensive and uniquely organized text is aimed at undergraduate and graduate level statistics courses in education and psychology. An organization scheme built around common issues and problems rather than statistical techniques allows students to understand the conceptual nature of statistical procedures. Likewise, it is so comprehensive and clearly written that instructors are freed from a considerable amount of didactic presentation thus allowing them to engage more with cases and examples of analysis. Whenever possible, presentations contain explanations of the underlying reasons behind a technique. For example, nearly all introductory texts specify that when doing chi-squared tests on count data, expected cell frequencies should be five or more but most don't tell why. This text does. |

Wherever possible, presentations contain explanations of the underlying reasons behind a technique. Importantly, this is one of the first statistics texts in the social sciences using R as the principal statistical package. Key features include the following.
