Reviews
“The ebook presents a significant number of valid and practical examples of the use of statistics in psychology. However, the author also presents the material using language that transcends to other fields as well. The emphasis on exploration of data as a precursor to the application of inferential statistical methods is extremely useful for psychology students and researchers alike.” – Adriana Espinosa, City College New York, USA
“I recommend this ebook as essential reading at the undergraduate level: the depth and breadth of the coverage is excellent, and the explanations given, and examples used, are accessible, clear, and accurate. The latest edition also includes ‘tricky bits’ at the end of each chapter – things that university students repeatedly have problems with, which are also relevant to improving their marks.” – David Tyfa, University of Huddersfield, UK
