DESCRIPTION:
"No page numbers" according to Lilue888. Kindle recently released an update to support print page numbers however this text has not yet been offered with the print page numbers. As a graduate student this is quite annoying. Often times my professor will simply email us "read pages 2No page numbers Lilue888 Kindle recently released an update to support print page numbers however this text has not yet been offered with the print page numbers. As a graduate student this is quite annoying. Often times my professor will simply email us "read pages 24-30" without listing the topic, or turn to page ___ in class. I love the fact that I can read my textbook wherever without the extra back pain, but would love to know what pages I'm reading in order to keep up with everyone else in class.. -No page numbers Kindle recently released an update to support print page numbers however this text has not yet been offered with the print page numbers.

"Fun to read book!" according to Martha Kyrillidou. This is a great book for all ages including elementary school kids. My fourth grader enjoyed reading the chapter on central tendendy -- mean, median and mode -- and she doubly enjoyed reading about these things through an easy to read graduate level textbook while learning them at school at the same time. She asked to keep that book for her. I wish I had that book when I was a fourth grader as well!It includes many examples from real life studies -- including an example from the famous LibQUAL+(R) protocol that libraries all over the world use to evaluate their services. You get extra bonus marks. "I found this book is very difficult to read and" according to M. Bell. I found this book is very difficult to read and understand, the author provides very few explanations and the times when he does provide some background or detail it is not clear or helpful.

Bell I found this book is very difficult to read and understand, the author provides very few explanations and the times when he does provide some background or detail it is not clear or helpful. I'm not sure how other's have been able to give it 4 or 5 stars unless they are PhD's already. For my doctoral work this has been a difficult book to use at the intermediate statistics level, I've had to purchase two additional books to augment my reading material in order to learn the subject matter.. or 5 stars unless they are PhD's already.

With humor, extraordinary clarity, and carefully paced explanations and examples, Bruce Thompson shows readers how to use the latest techniques for interpreting research outcomes as well as how to make statistical decisions that result in better research. Utilizing the general linear model to demonstrate how different statistical methods are related to each other, Thompson integrates a broad array of methods involving only a single dependent variable, ranging from classical and robust location descriptive statistics, through effect sizes, and on through ANOVA, multiple regression, loglinear analysis and logistic regression. Special features include SPSS and Excel demonstrations that offer opportunities, in the book’s datasets and on Thompson’s website, for further exploration of statistical dynamics.
This is a book that deals with univariate and bivariate statistics and those multivariate statistics where there’s only a single dependent variable. Thompson's repeated emphasis regarding the importance of interpreting an analysis by comparing results with those across prior related studies is vital and well stated throughout."--Victoria Rodlin, Statistical Consultant (former faculty, Department of Psychology, California State University, Fullerton)"I mainly teach statistics to nursing students, and I could easily see myself switching to Thompson’s book because it is basically one of the most readable serious statistics books I have seen. Swank, Department of Pediatrics, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston"The exercises in a conceptual book like this should be reflective and thought provoking, rather than computational/m-/just like these were done!"--Paul R. The benefit for professional use is the vast number of resources and references cited
