Development refers to changes in cognitive, social-emotional, locomotor, and other abilities. This book illustrates how statistical methods can be used to answer research questions in human growth and development. In addition to describing methods, it looks at how well a method addresses a specific research question and how to interpret and present the analytic results. Although the examples are drawn from human growth and development, the concepts and methods are applicable to studies of many other physical and psychological phenomena, such as lung function and depressive symptoms. Requiring introductory statistics knowledge, the book is intended for clinical researchers, epidemiologists, social scientists, statisticians, related researchers, and post-graduate students investigating human growth and development--Provided by publisher.Chapman & Hall/CRC biostatistics series (Unnumbered)Human growthStatistical methodsDevelopmental psychologyStatistical methodsHuman growthStatistical methods.Developmental psychologyStatistical methods.612.6Cheung Yin Bun895631FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910800196103321Statistical analysis of human growth and development3878340UNINA
