Advanced Statistics in Research: Reading, Understanding, and Writing Up Data Analysis Results

Description:

Advanced Statistics in Research: Reading, Understanding, and Writing Up Data Analysis Results is the simple, nontechnical introduction to the most complex multivariate statistics presented in empirical research articles.

wwwStatsInResearch.com, is a companion website that provides free sample chapters, exercises, and PowerPoint slides for students and teachers. A free 600-item test bank is available to instructors.

Advanced Statistics in Research does not show how to perform statistical procedures--it shows how to read, understand, and interpret them, as they are typically presented in journal articles and research reports. It demystifies the sophisticated statistics that stop most readers cold: multiple regression, logistic regression, discriminant analysis, ANOVA, ANCOVA, MANOVA, factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation modeling, meta-analysis--and more.

Advanced Statistics in Research assumes that you have never had a course in statistics. It begins at the beginning, with research design, central tendency, variability, z scores, and the normal curve. You will learn (or re-learn) the big-three results that are common to most procedures: statistical significance, confidence intervals, and effect size. Step-by-step, each chapter gently builds on earlier concepts. Matrix algebra is avoided, and complex topics are explained using simple, easy-to-understand examples.

Need help writing up your results? Advanced Statistics in Research shows how data-analysis results can be summarized in text, tables, and figures according to APA format. You will see how to present the basics (e.g., means and standard deviations) as well as the advanced (e.g., factor patterns, post-hoc tests, path models, and more).

Advanced Statistics in Research is appropriate as a textbook for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates (see supplementary materials at StatsInResearch.com). It also serves as a handy shelf reference for investigators and all consumers of research.

From the Back Cover

The Easiest Guide to the Nastiest Statistics

Advanced Statistics in Research is the easy-to-understand introduction to the scariest statistical procedures: multiple regression, discriminant analysis, logistic regression, MANOVA, ANOVA, ANCOVA, factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation modeling, meta-analysis, and more. It does not show how to perform statistical analyses--it shows how to read and understand the results from these analyses as they are typically reported in published research articles.

* Little or no background is required--introductory chapters review the basics of
research design and elementary statistics.

* Complex matrix-algebra formulas are avoided--all procedures, results, and
statistical symbols are explained in simple, nontechnical terms.

* Concepts are illustrated with engaging, easy-to-understand examples.

Traditional practices and best practices.Advanced Statistics in Research illustrates the popular practices that researchers have traditionally followed when writing up their results for manuscripts and presentations. It also illustrates the newer conventions that are currently recommended by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, the APA's Task Force on Statistical Inference, and similar authoritative sources.

Statistical significance, confidence intervals, and effect size. Readers will learn how to correctly interpret and report significance tests, confidence intervals, effect size, and replication statistics such as Prep.

Meta-analysis. A comprehensive but user-friendly chapter on meta-analysis finally makes this ultra-important topic accessible to readers at all levels.

Writing the Results section. Students and researchers will see many examples of text, tables, and figures prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. An Appendix reviews the basics of APA format for the Results section of journal articles. Sample write-ups range from the basic (e.g., means and standard deviations) to advanced and multivariate statistics (e.g., factor analysis and structural equation modeling).

Figures in APA format. Readers will see many APA-style examples of charts and graphs for the Results section: histograms, bar charts with error bars, box-and-whisker charts, scatterplots, funnel plots, path diagrams, and more.

Free exercises and more at companion web site. Students and instructors will find free PDF downloads of chapter exercises, PowerPoint® slides, and other supplementary materials at StatsInResearch.com. A free 600-item test bank is available to instructors

Audience. Appropriate as a textbook in upper-level undergraduate courses, as a textbook in graduate courses, or as a stand-alone reference for students and researchers in the social and behavioral sciences, health, education, and business.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book on statistics that I have ever read (& I’ve read a lot)

A. · March 2, 2023

I have a MS in applied data science and I’ve read a lot of statistics books. This book is by far the BEST I’ve ever read. I LOVE it. Larry Hatcher makes the concepts easy to understand, he breaks down and explains formulas, and he provides excellent examples. I can’t say enough how great this book is. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about statistics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book. Everyone must buy this.

B. · August 15, 2014

Great details. If you have basic idea about statistics, this book is like story reading. I have read almost 30% of it starting from start. This will help you to recall what you know previously and learn new things if you do not have idea about it.Each chapter starts with an analysis to a problem, and then ends with what does that mean and how to interpret the analysis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best statistics book I've ever had

J. · November 3, 2016

Best statistics book I've ever had. I have it at work with me as a reference and read it at home to constantly refresh my memory of some basic concepts as well. I cannot agree more with the other comments - the author explains difficult stats concepts very well and in an easy-to-understand way. I have statistics books with all the crazy equations too but I always come back to this book because for me understanding the concepts is much more important than being able to calculate the numbers which I can easily do with software anyway.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for intermediate statistics.

M. · May 2, 2024

This book provides some very interesting insights into statistics. Yet, I wouldn't argue that the content covered corresponds to advanced statistics. It is particularly interesting for its references. It is definitely a good source for those looking for an approach to quantitative data analysis that minimizes mathematical concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS!!

M. · July 22, 2021

I absolutely love this book. I am a psychology student. I needed to review statistics and learn more advanced statistics for my graduate degree so I bought this book after reading some of it at the library (I wanted to write all over it and I couldn't do that with the library's book). This book is so well written and clear I am amazed. If you need to review some basic statistics in order to perform more advanced procedures in research, this is the book for you. Thank you Dr. Hatcher for his book.

5.0 out of 5 stars My go-to statistics book

L. · December 28, 2018

I’m not a fan of statistics but this book made it much easier to comprehend! My quantitative statistics professor suggested this book and I used it more than the actual course textbook. It’s very well written. I definitely recommend this book to anyone taking statistics.

5.0 out of 5 stars As expected from a book by Hatcher

e. · May 7, 2013

I am a huge fan of Dr. Hatcher's books.His book - A step by step approach of using SAS for factor analysis and structural equation modeling- was my self-study guide to learn SEM in SAS.This book is not an exception. A very well written, and easy to follow book for everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars MIddle range for clarity and readability

J.C.C.L. · November 20, 2024

I am using this book as a textbook for a Doctoral-level Advanced Applied Research Methods class. The writing is not as clear as some others but it is more practical and readable than many older statistical methods books. Images are clear. Examples are fine and practical.

Simple, practical and informative

J. · October 1, 2020

I’m writing a meta analysis for my honours thesis and this book has certainly helped me to understand the numerous statistics used in research. It’s really worth the price and much more affordable than the other texts. I really appreciated that they gave numerous examples to illustrate how each statistical technique is used and presented in research articles. Received it in good condition after 2 weeks :)

I very recommend this book

A.R. · July 11, 2019

I have bought this book for educating myself in advanced statistics, but I also have learned a lot about the basic statistics' concepts. It was funny when I realised that even my understanding of the concept of statistical significance was inaccurate, while I had always thought that I know it perfectly. This book is written in very simple English and the author provides clear and detailed examples. I guess he has a long experience of teaching, because whenever during the reading I think "Hmm. It is difficult to understand. What is this?", it is followed by the statement not to panic and then the detailed and comprehensive explanation. I had a feeling that the author can read my thoughts:). I wish all textbooks would be written in this way.

Amazing textbook

A.C. · June 4, 2024

This book is comprehensive and includes the basic and advanced techniques in statistical analysis. I gained so much confidence after reading it. The language, simplicity, and sometimes humour in addressing complex concepts are the highlights of this FANTASTIC book.

Very comprehensive

E.R. · December 27, 2024

One of the best books on advanced statistics, and yet so easy to read and understand for anyone with working knowledge of statistics. Loved this book!

Must read for researchers of all levels
