Publisher's Synopsis
Teaches statistics cheerfully and straightforwardly, cherry-picking from two similar, easy-to-use open source software packages, which have been adopted by universities around the world. Without mathematical formulae, no previous statistical knowledge is assumed. Lucid writing and a clear structure take the reader from beginner to graduate level, with worked examples from psychology. Tests: t tests, one-way ANOVA, and non-parametric equivalents; correlations and regression; categorical analyses including binomial, chi square and more; factorial ANOVA; MANOVA; PCA and factor analysis; logistic regression; partial correlations; Kaplan-Meier; Bayesian statistics. Also covers effect sizes consistently, with data assumptions and confidence intervals. For students, academics and professionals.
