About this title

Synopsis

An invaluable reference tool that guides students through drafting the results of quantitative experiments and investigations.

Everyone who does quantitative social science research writes up the results of their experiments and investigations, but most texts offer little guidance on how to do so. This supplemental text teaches students how to draft the results of statistical experiments and investigations in text or visual format. This how-to book, designed to be used in combination with primary statistics or research methods texts, also serves as an effective reference for students new to statistics and for experienced researchers.
