Building on undergraduate statistical grounding, Understanding and Using Advanced Statistics provides the upper-level researcher with the knowledge of what advanced statistics do, how they should be used, and what their output means.
Very easy to understand, providing a good overview. Good for applied researchers!
The book provides some basic, but clear and sufficient explanation of more advanced statistical techniques. I would not recommend it for beginners and people who want to gain a deep understanding of basic, and more advanced statistics, but would recommend it for those who want to use them in practice.
This text is a provides a good introduction to more advanced statististics and gives a good overview of several increasingly popular and relevant techniques. It would be ideal for final year and post graduate students embarking on advanced analysis. Will recommend for library stock and as a valuable purchase for post grads seeking a career in statistics
