This is a great e-book for studying statistics. One of the best I've seen so far. Statistics are a topic I hate, but this e book has given me hope. I do know use it as a supplement for different textbooks. It was an ebook that was written by the scholar in mind. I'm in a category with an awful stats e book now, Statistical Strategies for Psychology. But, the Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences text will be an everlasting fixture on my shelf and I like to recommend it often. I'll proceed to look for textbooks written by these guys. Thanks, you made one among my semesters much better.

The e-book is clearly and concisely written. The examples are relevant to each idea coated, and concepts are carried by-out the book. One can easily perceive the hyperlinks, and underlying fundamentals, of statistical analysis. That is the only stat guide I've ever read wherein relationships are clearly and simply understood. (And I've read several stat books!

We are utilizing this e-book for a doctoral level differential and inferential statistics course. After all many people are unsure about statistics courses anyway since most of us shouldn't have math backgrounds. However, the guide explains the reasoning and procedures clearly with good examples, observe and learning modules along the way. I purchased the research information by Gravetter as well.
