Conceptual Statistics for Beginners cover

Now in its third edition, Conceptual Statistics for Beginners emphasizes and facilitates the conceptual understanding of statistics and statistical concepts for the purpose of reading and accurately interpreting research literature. The last two chapters of the book introduce two new concepts. The first concept is type VI error, which is the inconsistency between the statistical procedure and the research question. The final chapter introduces the importance of the concept of "Replicability" vs. statistical significance and effect size.

This work presents concepts and terminology for students in the social sciences embarking on the study of statistics. The book will be useful for those seeking to flatten the learning curve associated with introductory statistics methods courses. For personal libraries, public libraries, and academic libraries serving undergraduate and graduate programs in the social sciences.Summing Up: RECOMMENDED. General readers; upper-division ungraduates through faculty. -- W. R. Lee, Iowa State University * CHOICE *
