About the Book

Zechmeister and Posavac's unique, progressive pedagogical framework presents students with a model of analysis and interpretation called "I-D-E-A." This cutting edge model leads students through the processes of data inspection (I), description (D), estimating (E) confidence in their results, and announcing (A) their findings. Their friendly writing style and systematic approach to statistics involves the student in the topics presented. The authors stress the important first stage of data inspection and also demonstrate how both confidence intervals and effect sizes are complementary to traditional null hypothesis testing. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the understanding and interpretation of statistics and place less emphasis on computation, acknowledging and encouraging computer-assisted data analysis. Concrete examples at the beginning of each chapter illustrate the kinds of questions and data that will be considered in that section. Having this variety of examples increases the likelihood that a student will relate to at least one of them. Scenarios presented at the beginning of the chapter, which are referred to throughout the chapter so students can see how an example is affected by different stages of analysis and interpretation.

Review :
"The approach is "cutting edge" and fills a gap not provided by any introductory level statistics text that I know of. . . . The emphasis is on the application of statistical procedures, rather than the theoretical underpinnings of the statistics, and that is what I want for my students. It is a text that I would readily adopt." "The emphasis on the "inspection" phase of data analysis is truly commendable. This is a topic I have never seen covered in an introductory text. It is important both because it is practically useful, but also because it assists students in "getting to know their data." In most texts, students move so quickly past this phase that the numbers upon which they base their computations and eventual conclusions are mere abstractions." "The volume's writing style is very engaging, easy to read, welcoming, friendly, and appropriately informal. Students will find the volume inviting and encouraging because it makes them feel they can do what is being presented."
