Lively introductory textbook that uses three strategies to help students master statistics: use of models throughout; repetition with variation to underpin pedagogy; and emphasis on the tools most commonly used in contemporary research
Demonstrates how more than one statistical method can be used to approach a research question
Enhanced learning features include a 'walk-through' of statistical concepts, applications, features, advanced topics boxes, and a 'What Have We Learned' section at the end of each chapter
Supported by a website containing instructor materials including chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides, answers to exercises, and an instructor guide
