Class tested at the University of Nevada, the book's clear explanations of the underlying assumptions, computer simulations, and \u003ci\u003eExploring the Concept\u003c\/i\u003e boxes help reduce reader anxiety. Problems inspired by actual studies provide meaningful illustrations of the techniques. The underlying assumptions of each test and the factors that impact validity and statistical power are reviewed so readers can explain their assumptions and how tests work in future publications. Numerous examples from psychology, education, and other social sciences demonstrate varied applications of the material. Basic statistics and probability are reviewed for those who need a refresher. Mathematical derivations are placed in optional appendices for those interested in this detailed coverage. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHighlights include the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eUnique coverage of categorical and nonparametric statistics \u003c\/em\u003ebetter prepares readers to select the best technique for their particular research project; however, some chapters can be omitted entirely if preferred. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStep-by-step examples\u003c\/em\u003e of each test help readers see how the material is applied in a variety of disciplines. \u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAlthough the book can be used with any program, \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eexamples of how to use the tests in SPSS and Excel\u003c\/em\u003e foster conceptual understanding.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eExploring the Concept boxes \u003c\/em\u003eintegrated throughout prompt students to review key material and draw links between the concepts to deepen understanding. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eProblems\u003c\/em\u003e in each chapter help readers test their understanding of the material. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eEmphasis on selecting tests that maximize power \u003c\/em\u003ehelps readers avoid \"marginally\" significant results. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWebsite\u003c\/em\u003e (www.routledge.com\/9781138787827) features datasets for the book's examples and problems, and for the instructor, PowerPoint slides, sample syllabi, answers to the even-numbered problems, and Excel data sets for lecture purposes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntended for individual or combined graduate or advanced undergraduate courses in categorical and nonparametric data analysis, cross-classified data analysis, advanced statistics and\/or quantitative techniques taught in psychology, education, human development, sociology, political science, and other social and life sciences, the book also appeals to researchers in these disciplines.
