Data Analysis for Behavioral Sciences and Health Professions: Regression, ANOVA, and the General Linear Model (Advanced Quantitative Techniques in the Social Sciences)

By Peter Wright Vik

In Data Analysis for Behavioral Sciences and Health Professions: Regression, ANOVA, and the General Linear Model, Peter Vik compares traditional statistical and regression approaches to the general linear model so students can understand and apply either approach, depending on the situation and application. This new book serves as a core text for a second course statistics in the social and behavioral sciences, providing a bridge between introductory statistics and more advanced data analysis techniques. The book walks students through the GLM approach and provides a refresher on basic issues in statistics, such as null hypothesis testing and sampling. Then, the books moves on to cover ANOVA, ANCOVA, and bivariate techniques in general, alongside their regression counterparts, and then multivariate techniques and multiple regression. The text ends with introductory information on more advanced techniques, such as structural equation models and factor analysis to lead students into a potential third course in statistics.
