Synopsis:
Called the "bible of applied statistics," the first edition of the bestselling Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures was unsurpassed in its scope. The Second Edition goes even further - more tests, more examples, more than 250 pages of new material.
Thorough - Up-To-Date
With details of more than 100 statistical procedures, the Handbook offers unparalleled coverage of modern statistical methods. You get in-depth discussion of both practical and theoretical issues, many of which are not addressed in conventional statistics books.
Practical - User-Friendly
Accessible to novices but valuable to seasoned researchers, the Handbook emphasizes application over theory and presents the procedures in a standardized format that makes it easy to access the information you need.
If you have to
Ø Decide what method of analysis to use
Ø Use a particular test for the first time
Ø Distinguish acceptable from unacceptable research
Ø Interpret the results of published studies
the Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures has the background, the answers, and the guidelines to get the job done.
Review:
Sheshkin's handbook has been considered a standard in the field of applied statistics, and the new material in this edition makes it a very worthwhile book. ... very organized and easy to follow. ... This handbook is carefully edited, and is written in a clear, jargon-free style. ... It is a useful reference book for practicing researcher as well as students who are just learning how to analyze statistics in a variety of fields. It is recommended for academic and special libraries, even libraries that already own the first or second edition of this title.
