Statistical analysis can be applied in a number of different ways. Certain methods are particularly important to developing students and practitioners of the behavioral sciences. While introductory statistical analysis courses are a good starting point, this book aims to provide more advanced methods which will enhance the analytical skills of those using it. Technical explanations, sample data, and explanations of each chapter's relevance to the behavioral sciences make this text a challenging, yet important part of a regimen of study in this field.
