This book demonstrates how the research approach and design help determine the appropriate statistical analysis. Understanding and Evaluating Research in Applied and Clinical Settings features:*short, independent, chapters that do not have to be read in order;*a guide to understanding why a particular statistic was selected;*an emphasis on effects sizes including measures of risk poSocial sciencesResearchMethodologyPsychologyResearchMethodologySocial sciencesStatistical methodsPsychometricsElectronic books.Social sciencesResearchMethodology.PsychologyResearchMethodology.Social sciencesStatistical methods.Psychometrics.300/.72Morgan George A(George Arthur),1936-1053675Gliner Jeffrey A1053676Harmon Robert John1946-1053677Gliner Jeffrey A1053676MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450480603321Understanding and evaluating research in applied clinical settings2485709UNINA
