An Introduction to Statistical Concepts

Third Edition

By: Richard G Lomax,Debbie L. Hahs-Vaughn

This comprehensive, flexible text is used in both one- and two-semester courses to review introductory through intermediate statistics. Instructors select the topics that are most appropriate for their course. Its conceptual approach helps students more easily understand the concepts and interpret SPSS and research results. Key concepts are simply stated and occasionally reintroduced and related to one another for reinforcement. Numerous examples demonstrate their relevance. This edition features more explanation to increase understanding of the concepts. Only crucial equations are included. In addition to updating throughout, the new edition features: New co-author, Debbie L. Hahs-Vaughn, the 2007 recipient of the University of Central Florida's College of Education Excellence in Graduate Teaching Award. A new chapter on logistic regression models for today's more complex methodologies. More on computing confidence intervals and conducting power analyses using G*Power. Many more SPSS screenshots to assist with understanding how to navigate SPSS and annotated SPSS output to assist in the interpretation of results. Extended sections on how to write-up statistical results in APA format. New learning tools including chapter-opening vignettes, outlines, and a list of key concepts, many more examples, tables, and figures, boxes, and chapter summaries. More tables of assumptions and the effects of their violation including how to test them in SPSS. 33% new conceptual, computational, and all new interpretative problems. A website that features PowerPoint slides, answers to the even-numbered problems, and test items for instructors, and for students the chapter outlines, key concepts, and datasets that can be used in SPSS and other packages, and more. Each chapter begins with an outline, a list of key concepts, and a vignette related to those concepts. Realistic examples from education and the behavioral sciences illustrate those concepts. Each example examines the procedures and assumptions and provides instructions for how to run SPSS, including annotated output, and tips to develop an APA style write-up. Useful tables of assumptions and the effects of their violation are included, along with how to test assumptions in SPSS. 'Stop and Think' boxes provide helpful tips for better understanding the concepts. Each chapter includes computational, conceptual, and interpretive problems. The data sets used in the examples and problems are provided on the web. Answers to the odd-numbered problems are given in the book. The first five chapters review descriptive statistics including ways of representing data graphically, statistical measures, the normal distribution, and probability and sampling. The remainder of the text covers inferential statistics involving means, proportions, variances, and correlations, basic and advanced analysis of variance and regression models. Topics not dealt with in other texts such as robust methods, multiple comparison and nonparametric procedures, and advanced ANOVA and multiple and logistic regression models are also reviewed. Intended for one- or two-semester courses in statistics taught in education and/or the behavioral sciences at the graduate and/or advanced undergraduate level, knowledge of statistics is not a prerequisite. A rudimentary knowledge of algebra is required.

Applied Multivariate Statistical Concepts

By: Debbie L. Hahs-Vaughn

This second edition of Applied Multivariate Statistical Concepts covers the classic and cutting-edge multivariate techniques used in today’s research. Through clear writing and engaging pedagogy and examples using real data, Hahs-Vaughn walks students through the most used methods to learn why and how to apply each technique. A conceptual approach with a higher than usual text-to-formula ratio helps readers master key concepts so they can implement and interpret results generated by today’s sophisticated software. Additional features include examples using real data from the social sciences; templates for writing research questions and results that provide manuscript-ready models; step-by-step instructions on using R and SPSS statistical software with screenshots and annotated output; clear coverage of assumptions, including how to test them and the effects of their violation; and conceptual, computational, and interpretative example problems that mirror the real-world problems students encounter in their studies and careers. This edition features expanded coverage of topics, such as propensity score analysis, path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, and centering, moderation effects, and power as related to multilevel modelling. New topics are introduced, such as addressing missing data and latent class analysis, while each chapter features an introduction to using R statistical software. This textbook is ideal for courses on multivariate statistics/analysis/design, advanced statistics, and quantitative techniques, as well as for graduate students broadly in social sciences, education, and behavioral sciences. It also appeals to researchers with no training in multivariate methods.
