Modern Statistics for the Social and Behavioral Sciences
Chapman & Hall/CRC (Verlag)
978-1-4987-9678-1 (ISBN)
Hundreds of journal articles make it clear that basic techniques, routinely taught and used, can perform poorly when dealing with skewed distributions, outliers, heteroscedasticity (unequal variances) and curvature. Methods for dealing with these concerns have been derived and can provide a deeper, more accurate and more nuanced understanding of data. A conceptual basis is provided for understanding when and why standard methods can have poor power and yield misleading measures of effect size. Modern techniques for dealing with known concerns are described and illustrated.
Features:
Presents an in-depth description of both classic and modern methods
Explains and illustrates why recent advances can provide more power and a deeper understanding of data
Provides numerous illustrations using the software R
Includes an R package with over 1300 functions
Includes a solution manual giving detailed answers to all of the exercises
This second edition describes many recent advances relevant to basic techniques. For example, a vast array of new and improved methods is now available for dealing with regression, including substantially improved ANCOVA techniques. The coverage of multiple comparison procedures has been expanded and new ANOVA techniques are described.
