内容説明
This book not only provides a simple description of the basic concepts and principles of statistical analysis for the social sciences, it also points to failures of methods and offers ways to correct such problems. For example, it was once thought that standard hypothesis testing procedures for means have relatively high power under nonnormality. Many studies have since demonstrated that power can be very low even with very slight departures from normality. This bookexplains how and why such departures can occur.
Statistics for the Social Sciences goes beyond the typical introductory material on probability and statistical inference to incorporate modern topics of critical importance in social science research. The text includes coverage of such topics asrobust methods for comparing measures of location; modern regression techniques; recent developments associated with heteroscedastic procedures; the latest developments in nonparametric statistics; and a full chapter on multiple comparison procedures.
The accompanying disk contains more than 150 easy-to-use Minitab macros that provide the student with state-of-the-art statistical methods not available in standard statistical packages. Once the data are read into Minitab, a single command provides access to more powerful, more flexible, and more accurate statistical procedures.
