The Joy of Stats by Roberta Garner
As a stand-alone text, a self-study manual, or a supplement to a lab manual or comprehensive text, The Joy of Stats is a unique and versatile resource. A "Math Refresher" section and self-assessment test offer a concise review of the needed math background. A "How-To?" section provides short, handy summaries of data analysis techniques and explains when to apply them. Each chapter offers key terms, numerous examples-including real-world data-practice exercises and answers, and verbal algorithms as well as formulas. The result is an unrivalled guide for students of social science as well as for practitioners and policy-makers. The second edition has been revised throughout and includes many new examples. A new companion website, garnerjoyofstats.com, features a data set covering close to 120 countries and 10 variables, student exercises, and a full suite of instructor support materials, including power points for lectures, lab guides, and a test bank.
