A Great Book
This is an exceptional book. Another review says the book is not good with SPSS, which is strange because the book includes sections in all the main chapters that explains SPSS output. This book is great this way. The disgruntled student reviewer must have skipped these because they appear in special chapter boxes that (bad) students often skip over. The treatment of z scores (which is not all that crucial anyway - when was the last time you saw a z score in a research article) is outstanding, so the review just sounds like sour grapes to me.
a students perspective
As a grad student who is at present using this textbook (I am in spring quarter, 06), I will sum it up in two words"it sucks".I have taken three different statistic classes and I am using their textbooks to fill in the many blanks this textbook has.
An Excellent Introduction
The book is up-to-date and effectively presents the basic concepts.Deals with current power and sphericity concerns.Example SPSS-keyed analyses and APA-format results sections are especially valuable for research training.Uses post-hoc Tukey HSD test.Separate nonparametric chapters.The authors know their material (not always the case with statistics texts) and they provide a solid (higher-level) introduction.Good selection of topics and fairly thorough.Perhaps a bit wordy at times.One of the best available introductions.From a long-time teacher of statistics with no connection to authors. ...

"The reference" on long-range dependence
Very interesting at a theoretical as well as practical point of view. Covers in details all aspects of long-range and short-range dependance, be it all heuristic and more formal methods that permit to detect dependance in time series. Potentially mathematically deep ... but very good !

New Approaches to Data Analysis
New Developments in Categorical Data Analysis for the Social & Behavioral Science by L. Andries Van Der Ark, Marcel A. Croon, Klaas Sijtsma (Quantitative Methodology Series: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates) Almost all research in the social and behavioral sciences, economics, marketing, criminology, and medicine deals with the analysis of categorical data. Categorical data are quantified as either nominal variables-distinguishing different groups, for example, based on socio-economic status, education, and political persuasion-or ordinal variables-distinguishing levels of interest, such as the preferred politician for President or the preferred type of punishment for committing burglary. New Developments in Categorical Data Analysis for the Social and Behavioral Sciences is a collection of up-to-date studies on modern categorical data analysis methods, emphasizing their application to relevant and interesting data sets.
