Understanding Advanced Statistical Methods

Beschreibung

Providing a much-needed bridge between elementary statistics courses and advanced research methods courses, this text helps students grasp the fundamental assumptions and machinery behind sophisticated statistical topics, such as logistic regression, maximum likelihood, bootstrapping, nonparametrics, and Bayesian methods. The book teaches students how to properly model, think critically, and design their own studies to avoid common errors. It leads them to think differently not only about math and statistics but also about general research and the scientific method.
