Tölfræðiaðferðir í félagsvísindum, gerðar aðgengilegar öllum með áherslu á hugtökin sjálf. Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences kynnir tölfræðiaðferðir fyrir nemendum í félagsvísindagreinum. Með áherslu á hugtök og hagnýtingu gerir bókin engar kröfur um fyrri þekkingu í tölfræði og lágmarkskröfur um stærðfræðigrunn. Efnið dugar í tveggja missera námskeið.
Fimmta útgáfan notar dæmi og æfingar sem byggja á fjölbreyttum raungögnum. Í henni eru fleiri dæmi um notkun tölfræðihugbúnaðar við útreikninga, og gagnvirk smáforrit eru nýtt til að útskýra lykilhugtök á borð við úrtaksdreifingar og einfalda gagnagreiningu. Bókin heldur áfram að draga úr vægi stærðfræðinnar, sem oft verður nemendum fótakefli, án þess þó að falla í þá gryfju að setja tölfræði fram sem einfaldar uppskriftir.
Statistical methods applied to social sciences, made accessible to all through an emphasis on concepts Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences introduces statistical methods to students majoring in social science disciplines. With an emphasis on concepts and applications, this book assumes no previous knowledge of statistics and only a minimal mathematical background. It contains sufficient material for a two-semester course.
The 5th Edition uses examples and exercises with a variety of “real data. ” It includes more illustrations of statistical software for computations and takes advantage of the outstanding applets to explain key concepts, such as sampling distributions and conducting basic data analyses. It continues to downplay mathematics–often a stumbling block for students–while avoiding reliance on an overly simplistic recipe-based approach to statistics.
