520			_aIllustrating Statistical Procedures: Finding Meaning in Quantitative Data, Second Edition, expands and extends the content and approaches taken in the first edition and provides a comprehensive set of descriptions for various statistical procedures as they are applied in the conduct of behavioural and social science research... Learning about statistics is a stressful activity for many people. This text is designed to painlessly acquaint students, beginning researchers and statistical novices with a wide range of analytical possibilities... Postgraduate students and professional academic researchers will also find this book useful as both a refresher and an introduction to some newer but less well-known statistical procedures. The text provides a conceptual overview, in plain English, of each procedure's purpose, use and application. Also included are discussions of some of the most important and fundamental statistical concepts which underpin many of the methods explored. To apply this knowledge, information about currently available computer software to carry out specific statistical procedures is included. Illustrating Statistical Procedures: Finding Meaning in Quantitative Data, Second Edition, provides a solid foundation on which to build more formal learning of statistics as well as facilitating the exploration of new possibilities for analysis. No matter the level of your initial knowledge, you can learn statistics and be competent at using and interpreting them."--Page 4 of cover.
