Applied Statistics II - International Student Edition

Rebecca M. Warner’s bestselling Applied Statistics: From Bivariate Through Multivariate Techniques has been split into two volumes for ease of use over a two-course sequence. This new multivariate statistics text, Applied Statistics II: Multivariable and Multivariate Techniques, Third Edition is based on chapters from the second half of original book, but with much additional material. This text now provides a distinctive bridge between earlier courses and advanced topics through extensive discussion of statistical control (adding a third variable), a new chapter on the "new statistics", a new chapter on outliers and missing values, and a final chapter that provides an introduction to structural equation modeling. This text provides a solid introduction to concepts such as statistical control, mediation, moderation, and path modeling necessary to students taking intermediate and advanced statistics courses across the social sciences. Examples are provided in SPSS with datasets available on an accompanying website. A companion study guide reproducing the exercises and examples in R will also be available.
