This best-selling text is written for those who use, rather than develop, advanced statistical methods. Dr. Stevens focuses on a conceptual understanding of the material rather than proving results. Helpful narrative and numerous examples enhance understanding, and a chapter on matrix algebra serves as a review. Printouts from SPSS and SAS with annotations indicate what the numbers mean and encourage interpretation of the results. In addition to demonstrating how to use the packages effectively, the author stresses the importance of checking the data, assessing the assumptions, and ensuring adequate sample size (by providing guidelines) so that the results can be generalized. The new edition features a CD-ROM with the data sets and many new exercises. Ideal for courses on advanced or multivariate statistics found in psychology, education, and business departments, the book also appeals to practicing researchers with little or no training in multivariate methods. Prerequisites include a course on factorial analysis of variance. (view table of contents)

Well organized charts, lists, and tables with up-to-date information make it quick and easy to find the answers to your questions.

This is the first book to contain a directory of 400 phone numbers to food equipment manufacturers with a compliment of over 400 industry related toll-free fax numbers. A concise list of zip codes for manufacturers and a list of states for freight estimates eliminates time consuming searches. You’ll find a section on the required USDA codes (HACCP), a Bacteria Control Table, Food Holding Temperature Guide, and other valuable sanitation and temperature statistics. A valuable chart on site analysis, an industry standard, is just one piece of "hard-to-find" information encompassed in these pages. Stevens and Snowberger offer information on scheduling, equipment installation, and selecting equipment for the kitchen; be it a correctional, healthcare, or banquet facility. There are mechanical charts available with plumbing and electrical conversion data, as well as information on grease traps, and beer/soda systems. Other highlights of Food Equipment Digest include a list of food trade magazines, associations, and field related video tapes. It is a one-of-a-kind comprehensive informational guide that will most assuredly save you time and money.
