A valuable new edition of a standard in the field of statistics.

For the ever-increasing number of practitioners who must perform sophisticated statistical analyses on computers, Applied Statistics: Analysis of Variance and Regression has long been a standard reference and text. 

This book is of interest to risk managers, quality improvement directors, public health managers and medical researchers.

This new Third Edition has been thoroughly revised to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date combination of sound statistical methodology, practical advice on the application of this methodology, and interpretation of output from statistical programs. Special features of this edition include:

  • A highly readable text, with mathematical background kept at a low level
  • Comprehensive treatment of each topic, from summarization of data to presentation of results
  • Careful explanation of assumptions, how to check if the data meet them, and what to do if they don't
  • A greater emphasis on regression, data screening, and confidence intervals
  • In-depth discussion of design-related topics such as mixed models and random effects
  • Overviews of more advanced topics
  • An extensively revised chapter on repeated measures designs

This work has been thoughtfully designed so that it serves equally well as a reference for the practitioner and as a self-contained textbook for the advanced student.

  • Rewritten to maintain clarity and brevity while expanding the coverage of previous editions.
  • Changes to design-related topics include increased discussion of mixed models and random effects, greater emphasis on regression and data screening, and more use of graphs throughout.
  • Includes both graded and challenging exercises.
  • Liberal computer discussions now supplemented with SAS and SPSS.

Eminently suitable for students and researchers who may not have a calculus background as well as for more advanced practitioners, this self-contained, comprehensive treatment of variance and regression analysis readies a new generation of researchers for the demands of this growing field.
