Dalla quarta di copertina

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
