Our current text from Sage "Stats for People Who (Think They) Hate Stats" will be used again for the fall semester, 2011. The Instructor for the course is currently satisfied with this text from Sage.

When individual graduate students require statistical analysis, then I require them to purchase this text. It is easy to understand and concepts have been explained well. Also, this text is helpful for students in selecting the appropriate statistical tools for their projects.

A book that is leaning more towards analysis of health research would work better for my students.

Key features

  • Provides broader coverage than most concise statistics texts: Basic descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, and basic inferential statistics are covered along with more advanced topics such as correlation, regression, non-parametric statistics, multivariate statistics, and general linear modeling.

  • Emphasizes choosing the appropriate statistical test: This unique emphasis includes conceptual material, assumptions, homework exercises, and a helpful "choose-the-appropriate-test" flowchart.

  • Focuses on the interpretation of results from both Excel and SPSS outputs: Helping students to better interpret and analyze statistics, important calculations are also done by hand to help students grasp the underlying concepts.

  • Class-tested with more than a thousand students: The organization of the material and the level of depth and breadth were tested with the authors' students, who engaged with the easy-to-read narrative style.

  • Includes end-of-chapter Homework Exercises: 15-30 problems per chapter (including many for Excel and SPSS), help students fully grasp the content of each chapter.
