| Summary: | "This book is designed as an introduction to statistics for social scientists. It is comprehensive enough to give insight into the logic involved in statistical manipulation, yet simple enough to be understood by anyone who has taken an elementary algebra course. In order to facilitate the use of statistical technique in the analysis of social science data, most of the topics begin with a social science problem, and new concepts and techniques are introduced in solving the problem.

Examples are selected where statistical techniques are used in a theoretical framework"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved). |
