This accessible and rigorous guide goes beyond the approaches usually covered in introductory textbooks on quantitative methods to consider useful techniques for statistical inquiry into tourism matters of all but the most econometrically complex kind. The first part of the book concerns common issues in statistical analysis of data and the most widely-used techniques, while the second part describes and discusses several newer and less common approaches to data analysis that are valuable for tourism researchers and analysts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUpdates to the second edition include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e - a new chapter on \"Big Data\" \u003cbr\u003e - consideration of data screening and cleaning\u003cbr\u003e - the use of similarity and diversity indexes for comparing samples\u003cbr\u003e - observations about the partial least squares (PLS) approach to path modelling\u003cbr\u003e - a new section on multi-group structural equation modelling\u003cbr\u003e - a new section on common method variance and its treatment\u003cbr\u003e - revised and updated section on software\u003cbr\u003e - fully updated references and examples\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodolfo Baggio,Jane Klobas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845416198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845416195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Channel View Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Rodolfo Baggio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623318106367,"sku":"9781845416195","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quantitative-methods-in-tourism-rodolfo-baggio-9781845416195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
