HIERARCHICAL LINEAR MODELS: Applications and Data Analysis Methods
SECOND EDITION
Stephen W. Raudenbush, University of Chicago • Anthony S. Bryk, The Carnegie Foundation
Popular in the First Edition for its rich, illustrative examples and lucid explanations of the theory and use of hierarchical
linear models (HLM), the book has been reorganized into four parts with four completely new chapters. The fi rst two
parts, Part I on "The Logic of Hierarchical Linear Modeling" and Part II on "Basic Applications" closely parallel the fi rst
nine chapters of the previous edition with signifi cant expansions and technical clarifi cations.
CONTENTS PART I: THE LOGIC OF HIERARCHICAL LINEAR MODELING / PART II. BASIC APPLICATIONS / PART III: ADVANCED APPLICATIONS / PART IV:
ESTIMATION THEORY AND COMPUTATIONS
HARDCOVER ISBN: 978-0-7619-1904-9 • ©2002 • 512 PAGES
Quantitative Data Analysis
APPLIED STATISTICS USING STATA: A Guide for the Social Sciences
Mehmet Mehmetoglu • Tor Georg Jakobsen, both of Norwegian University of Science & Technology
Clear, intuitive and written with the student in mind, this book represents the ideal combination of statistical theory
and practice. It focuses on the questions which can be answered using statistics and addresses common themes and
problems in a straightforward, easy-to-follow manner. The book carefully combines the conceptual aspects of statistics
with detailed technical advice providing both the 'why' of statistics and the 'how'.
CONTENTS 1: Research and statistics / 2: Introduction to Stata / 3: Simple (bivariate) regression / 4: Multiple regression / 5: Dummy-Variable
Regression / 6: Interaction/moderation effects using regression / 7: Linear regression assumptions and diagnostics / 8: Logistic regression / 9:
Multilevel analysis / 10: Panel data analysis / 11: Exploratory factor analysis / 12: Structural equation modelling and confi rmatory factor analysis
/ 13: Critical issues

ANALYSING QUANTITATIVE DATA: Variable-based and Case-based Approaches to
Non-experimental Datasets
Raymond A. Kent, University of Stirling, Scotland
Providing a fresh take on quantitative data analysis within the social sciences, this book presents variable-based and
case-based approaches side-by-side encouraging readers to learn a range of approaches and to understand which
is the most appropriate for their research. In particular, a case-based confi gurational approach to datasets using
elements of fuzzy logic offers a way of analyzing datasets very different from the more usual statistical procedures.
CONTENTS PART 1: QUANTITATIVE DATA: STRUCTURE, PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS APPROACHES / PART 2: VARIABLE-BASED ANALYSES / PART 3:
CASE-BASED ANALYSES / PART 4: COMPARING AND COMBINING APPROACHES

Tests & Measurement
UPDATED EDITION OF BEST SELLER
SCALE DEVELOPMENT: Theory and Applications FOURTH EDITION
Robert F. DeVellis, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
In the Fourth Edition of Scale Development, Robert F. DeVellis demystifi es measurement by emphasizing a logical
rather than strictly mathematical understanding of concepts. The text supports readers in comprehending newer
approaches to measurement, comparing them to classical approaches, and grasping more clearly the relative merits
of each. This edition addresses new topics pertinent to modern measurement approaches and includes additional
exercises and topics for class discussion.
CONTENTS 1. Overview / 2. Understanding the Latent Variable / 3. Reliability / 4. Validity / 5. Guidelines in Scale Development / 6. Factor
Analysis / 7. An Overview of Item Response Theory / 8. Measurement in the Broader Research Context
PAPERBACK ISBN: 978-1-5063-4156-9 • APRIL 2016 • 280 PAGES •
