About the Author :
Andrew S. Zieffler, PhD, is Lecturer in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Zieffler has published numerous articles in his areas of research interest, which include the measurement and assessment in statistics education research and statistical computing. Jeffrey R. Harring, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Measurement, Statistics, and Evaluation at the University of Maryland. Dr. Harring currently focuses his research on statistical models for repeated measures data and nonlinear structural equation models. Jeffrey D. Long, PhD, is Professor of Psychiatry in the Carver College of Medicine at The University of Iowa and Head Statistician for Neurobiological Predictors of Huntington's Disease (PREDICT-HD), a longitudinal NIH-funded study of early detection of Huntington's disease. His interests include the analysis of longitudinal and time-to-event data and ordinal data.

Review :
“The book can be used from upper-undergraduate and graduate level courses on statistical methods, particularly in the educational and behavioral sciences. The book also serves as a valuable resource for researchers who need a practical guide to modern data analytic and computational methods.”  (Zentralblatt Math, 1 August 2013) “The three authors of this book have a deep understanding of research methods and statistics and provide great value in this book for students of this subject and readers interested in it.”  (Biz India, 8 May 2012)
