This expanded and updated Third Edition of Gopal K. Kanji's best-selling resource on statistical tests covers all the most commonly used tests with information on how to calculate and interpret results with simple datasets. Each entry begins with a short summary statement about the test's purpose, and contains details of the test objective, the limitations (or assumptions) involved, a brief outline of the method, a worked example, and the numerical calculation. 100 Statistical Tests, Third Edition is the one indispensable guide for users of statistical materials and consumers of statistical information at all levels and across all disciplines.

Product Description: In this book two ethical systems are described in the language of mathematics. Ordinarily mathematics is thought to be a science of quantity. Indeed, manipulation of quantities constitutes much of mathematics. Elementary applied mathematics deals with reckoning and measurement, where concrete quantities are objects of attention, such as counting sheep or weighing corno But the operations on these quantities are performed with the help of symbols, from which concrete referents have been 'abstracted out': 3 + 5 = 8 regardless of whether the symbols stand for numbers of sheep or tons of corno Thus, the first principle that exhibits the power of mathematics is abstraction...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The updated second edition offers expanded discussions of the chi square test of significance and the potential measures of association available for use with categoric data. Reviewing basic techniques in analysis of nominal data, this paper employs survey research data on party identification and ideologies to indicate which measures and tests are most appropriate for particular theoretical concerns...read more

Product Description: The second edition of this book provides a conceptual understanding of analysis of variance. It outlines methods for analysing variance that are used to study the effect of one or more nominal variables on a dependent, interval level variable...read more

Product Description: A guide to the analysis of quantitative longitudinal data, emphasizing the difficult conceptual problems of measuring change with social science data. Aids in the construction of causal models using `real' longitudinal data from a broad range of contexts in the social sciences, including data relevant to educationalists, social and developmental psychologists, social administrators, sociologists, and political scientists...read more

Product Description: This volume introduces the theory, method, and applications of one type of conjoint analysis technique. These techniques are used to study individual judgement and decision processes. Based upon Information Integration Theory, metric conjoint analysis allows for evaluation of multi-attribute alternatives based on interval level data...read more

Product Description: This volume provides readers with a simple, non-technical introduction to correspondence analysis (C.A.), a technique for summarily describing the relationships among categorical variables in large tables. It begins with the history and logic of C...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Problems of fair division, equitable cost-sharing, division of a joint benefit, or the choice of a truly democratic voting rule are familiar subjects of dispute in technologically advanced democracies. This book provides a comprehensive and unified presentation of these technically heterogeneous subjects that are linked by common axioms. (view table of contents)

Weber gives a clear and concise introduction to content analysis, with an emphasis on recent advances, particularly technological advances. Addressing human and computer modes of content classification, the book covers the reliability and validity of these coding procedures, and their associated category schemes. A step-by-step procedure for developing, testing, and applying a set of content categories is presented.

Product Description: A review of the basic mathematical concepts that underlie most quantitative analysis in the social sciences is presented in this volume. The author begins with an algebra review featuring sets and combinations and then discusses limits and continuity...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This book of worked-out examples not only accompanies Timothy M. Hagle's earlier book Basic Math for Social Scientists: Concepts, but also provides an informal refresher course in algebra sets, limits and continuity, differential calculus, multivariate functions, partial derivatives, integral calculus, and matrix algebra...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
