Review:

"This book is an ideal supplement for advanced courses in intermediate statistics or research methods found in departments of psychology, education, and other social and health sciences. Many of my Master's students ... are a bit nervous about actually collecting and analyzing the data. This text has helped them to keep the stats within view of their research question." - Steven Knotek, Ph.D., Bucknell University

"Many instructors of intermediate and advanced statistics courses will adopt it. ... It is written in a 'user-friendly' way, and the step-by-step examples are wonderful." - Laura Goodwin, Ph. D., University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center
