Praise for the Second Edition

"Statistics for Research has other fine qualities besides
superior organization. The examples and the statistical methods are
laid out with unusual clarity by the simple device of using special
formats for each. The book was written with great care and is
extremely user-friendly."--The UMAP Journal

Although the goals and procedures of statistical research have
changed little since the Second Edition of Statistics for Research
was published, the almost universal availability of personal
computers and statistical computing application packages have made
it possible for today's statisticians to do more in less time than
ever before.

The Third Edition of this bestselling text reflects how the
changes in the computing environment have transformed the way
statistical analyses are performed today. Based on extensive input
from university statistics departments throughout the country, the
authors have made several important and timely revisions,
including:

* Additional material on probability appears early in the
text

* New sections on odds ratios, ratio and difference estimations,
repeated measure analysis, and logistic regression

* New examples and exercises, many from the field of the health
sciences

* Printouts of computer analyses on all complex procedures

* An accompanying Web site illustrating how to use SAS® and
JMP® for all procedures

The text features the most commonly used statistical techniques
for the analysis of research data. As in the earlier editions,
emphasis is placed on how to select the proper statistical
procedure and how to interpret results. Whenever possible, to avoid
using the computer as a "black box" that performs a mysterious
process on the data, actual computational procedures are also
given.

A must for scientists who analyze data, professionals and
researchers who need a self-teaching text, and graduate students in
statistical methods, Statistics for Research, Third Edition brings
the methodology up to date in a very practical and accessible
way.
