Synopsis:
Called the "bible of applied statistics," the first two editions of the Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures were unsurpassed in accessibility, practicality, and scope. Now author David Sheskin has gone several steps further and added even more tests, more examples, and more background information-more than 200 pages of new material.
The Third Edition provides unparalleled, up-to-date coverage of over 130 parametric and nonparametric statistical procedures as well as many practical and theoretical issues relevant to statistical analysis. If you need to...
Decide what method of analysis to use
Use a particular test for the first time
Distinguish acceptable from unacceptable research
Interpret and better understand the results of pubished studies
...the Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures will help you 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.
