Modern Statistical & Computing Methods for the Behavioral and Educational Sciences using R emphasizes the direct link between scientific research questions and data analysis. Purposeful attention is paid to the integration of design, statistical methodology, and computation to propose answers to specific research questions. Furthermore, practical suggestions for the analysis and presentation of results, in prose, tables and/or figures, are included. Optional sections for each chapter include methodological extensions for readers desiring additional technical details. Rather than focus on mathematical calculations like so many other introductory texts in the behavioral sciences, the authors focus on conceptual explanations and the use of statistical computing. Statistical computing is an integral part of statistical work, and to support student learning in this area, examples using the R computer program are provided throughout the book. Rather than relegate examples to the end of chapters, the authors interweave computer examples with the narrative of the book. Topical coverage includes an introduction to R, data exploration of one variable, data exploration of multivariate data - comparing two groups and many groups, permutation and randomization tests, the independent samples t-Test, the Bootstrap test, interval estimates and effect sizes, power, and dependent samples"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aBootstrap (Statistics) 606 $aRandom data (Statistics) 606 $aPsychology$xData processing 606 $aR (Computer program language) 606 $aDistribution (Probability theory) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBootstrap (Statistics) 615 0$aRandom data (Statistics) 615 0$aPsychology$xData processing. 615 0$aR (Computer program language) 615 0$aDistribution (Probability theory) 676 $a519.5/4 676 $a519.54 686 $aSOC027000$2bisacsh 700 $aZieffler$b Andrew$f1974-$0517472 701 $aHarring$b Jeffrey$f1964-$0862763 701 $aLong$b Jeffrey D.$f1964-$0517474 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139630803321 996 $aComparing groups$91926033 997 $aUNINA
