Presenting Statistical Results Effectively provides an overview on the key methods for analysing advanced statistical data and then systematically tackles the topic of how to effectively present results from statistical models. It is unique in its emphasis on understanding and communication while at the same time considering important statistical theory, and in so doing provides an essential resource for advanced students and researchers across the social and behavioural sciences working with statistical data. Throughout the book, generalized linear models and various extensions (e.g., mixed models) are given a major emphasis. The authors then demonstrate how relationships, differences, and effects can be clearly communicated using tables and graphs of fitted values derived from these statistical models. All of the examples and analyses presented in the book are done using three statistical software packages: R, Stata and SPSS. The authors give attention to effective presentation both for publication in academic journals and oral presentations. Presenting Statistical Results Effectively takes a very different approach to understanding statistical theory and presenting statistical data and will be a very useful text for advanced students and researchers, across the social and behavioural sciences, throughout the world.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Robert Andersen is Professor of Business, Economics and Public Policy, and Professor of Strategy at the Ivey Business School, Western Univeristy. He is also cross-appointed in the Departments of Sociology, Political Science, and Statistics and Actuarial Science. His previous appointments include Distinguished Professor of Social Science at the University of Toronto, Senator William McMaster Chair in Political Sociology at McMaster University, and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. Andersen's research expertise is in social statistics, social stratification, and political economy. Much of his recent research has explored the cross-national relationships between economic conditions, especially income inequality, and a wide array of attitudes and behaviours important for liberal democracy and a successful business environment, including social trust, tolerance, civic participation, support for democracy and attitudes toward public policy. His published research includes Modern Methods for Robust Regression (Sage, 2008), and more than 70 academic papers including articles in the Annual Review of Sociology, American Journal of Political Science, American Sociological Review, British Journal of Political Science, British Journal of Sociology, Journal of Politics, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, and Sociological Methodology. Andersen has provided consulting for the United Nations, the European Commission, the Canadian Government and the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada.

Rezensionen
Is your quantitative work so screamingly clear that your readers never misunderstand your figures, misread your tables, or get confused by your prose? If so, then don't waste your time with Andersen and Armstrong's thoughtful book about the effective presentation and interpretation of statistical results. Gary King 20210627
