Unlike other advanced statistical texts, this book combines the theory
and practice behind a number of statistical techniques which students of
the social sciences need to evaluate, analyze, and test their research
hypotheses.
Each chapter discusses the purpose, rationale, and
assumptions for using each statistical test, rather than focusing on the
memorization of formulas. The tests are further elucidated throughout
the text by real examples of analysis. Of particular value to students
is the book s detailed discussion of how to utilize SPSS to run each
test, read its output, interpret, and write the results.
Advanced
& Multivariate Statistical Methods for Social Science Research is
an indispensable resource for students of disciplines as varied as
social work, nursing, public health, psychology, and education.
