Synopsis

Collaborations between statisticians and psychologists can benefit both the design and analysis of a practical research project. In this refreshingly different book, Brian Everitt and Dale Hay employ a case-oriented approach to demonstrate how such a collaboration works. A case-study drawn from child psychology is used, and followed through to show the statistical techniques available to tackle a range of questions and data.

...extremely clear worked examples...well-referenced...an extremely useful acquisition. (British Journal of Psychiatry)

...introduced me to techniques that I had come across informally...and gave me an idea of their consideral potential. (International Review of Psychiatry)
