PT FAX: 805.375.5291 14 TEXTBOOKS & HANDBOOKS INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS USING SPSS SECOND EDITION Herschel Knapp, University of Southern California The updated Second Edition of Herschel Knapp's friendly and practical introduction to statistics shows students how to properly select, process, and interpret statistics without heavy emphasis on theory, formula derivations, or abstract mathematical concepts. Each chapter is structured to answer questions that students most want answered: What statistical test should I use for this situation? How do I set up the data? How do I run the test? How do I interpret and document the results? Online tutorial videos, examples, screenshots, and intuitive illustrations help students "get the story" from their data as they learn by doing, completing practice exercises at the end of each chapter using prepared downloadable data sets. CONTENTS PART I: STATISTICAL PRINCIPLES / 1: Research Principles / 2: Sampling / 3: Working in SPSS / PART II: STATISTICAL PROCESSES / 4: Descriptive Statistics / 5: t Test and Mann-Whitney U Test / 6: ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis Test / 7: Paired t Test and Wilcoxon Test / 8: Correlation and Regression - Pearson and Spearman / 9: Chi-Square / PART III: DATA HANDLING / 10: Supplemental SPSS Operations PAPERBACK ISBN: 978-1-5063-4100-2 • OCTOBER 2016 • 312 PAGES • • online resources STRAIGHTFORWARD STATISTICS Chieh-Chen Bowen, Cleveland State University Straightforward Statistics is written in plain language and connects material in a clear, logical manner to help students across the social and behavioral sciences develop a "big picture" understanding of foundational statistics. Each new chapter is purposefully connected with the previous chapter for a gradual accrual of knowledge from simple to more complex concepts. Includes SAGE edge online resources featuring a student study site with direct correlations to STATLAB Online 2.0.
