About this title

Synopsis

This volume seeks to move the standard of statistical analysis and presentation in the social sciences towards an accurate and sensitive representation of data. This is accomplished by focusing on four themes: an emphasis on graphical data analysis; the use of computers for doing intensive computations; regression analysis; and sampling characteristics of data.
