Stevens does an excellent job showing how to use and read computer output....A strength of this book is the author's very clear explanation of power analysis....This is a nice, compact text with a lot of information contained between the covers....The author's presentation style is very readable and easy to follow.
—The American Statistician

This book will be found extremely useful to those conducting educational or other similar research and those studying reports of such research by others.
—The Statistician

Professor Stevens deserves a hearty congratulations for making a good hands-on statistics book even better! This is likely to be one of a few stat books that students will not sell...after the course is over. It is very readable without becoming too technical or buried in symbols and equations.

For a textbook with the scope that is intended, the overall content is quite good. The content for our own second-in-a-series course in statistical methods applied to educational research, very much matches with the topics covered by Stevens. In fact, several of my colleagues have made use of Stevens' first edition in the past.

There's a lot to like about what Stevens has chosen to emphasize. I especially like the emphasis on cross-validation and the reasons for it, which weaves through the [multiple regression] chapter as a unifying thread....This book serves a real need, and meets that need well.
