Statistics is often seen as a set of cookbook recipes which must be learned by heart. Model comparison, by contrast, provides a mental roadmap that not only gives a deeper level of understanding, but can be used as a general procedure to tackle those problems which can be solved using orthodox statistical methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStatistics and Experimental Design for Psychologists\u003c\/em\u003e focusses on the role of Occam's principle, and explains significance testing as a means by which the null and experimental hypotheses are compared using the twin criteria of parsimony and accuracy. This approach is backed up with a strong visual element, including for the first time a clear illustration of what the F-ratio actually does, and why it is so ubiquitous in statistical testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers the main statistical methods up to multifactorial and repeated measures, ANOVA and the basic experimental designs associated with them. The associated \u003cstrong\u003eonline supplementary material\u003c\/strong\u003e extends this coverage to multiple regression, exploratory factor analysis, power calculations and other more advanced topics, and provides screencasts demonstrating the use of programs on a standard statistical package, SPSS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf particular value to third year undergraduate as well as graduate students, this book will also have a broad appeal to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the scientific method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen Rory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178634064X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786340641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wspc (Europe)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Allen Rory","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623312273663,"sku":"9781786340641","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/statistics-experimental-design-for-allen-rory-9781786340641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
