- Summary:
- Tanner (educational research and administration, California State U., Fresno) helps educators develop the tools and conceptual understanding of statistics to deal with key statistical questions in the current age of accountability. After introducing key terms and emphases, he describes data presentation and distribution, z scores, tests of significant differences for interval/ratio scale data, analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, nonparametric procedures, basic measurement issues, and advanced topics like the difference between a stepwise regression solution and direct solution and how discriminant function analysis differs from multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Effect size calculations and confidence intervals are included. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
