Doing statistical analysis : a student's guide to quantitative research

Doing Statistical Analysis looks at three kinds of statistical research questions – descriptive, associational, and inferential – and shows students how to conduct statistical analyses and interpret the results.

Keeping equations to a minimum, it uses a conversational style and relatable examples such as football, COVID-19, and tourism, to aid understanding.

Each chapter contains practice exercises, and a section showing students how to reproduce the statistical results in the book using Stata and SPSS.

Digital supplements consist of data sets in Stata, SPSS, and Excel, and a test bank for instructors.

Its accessible approach means this is the ideal textbook for undergraduate students across the social and behavioral sciences needing to build their confidence with statistical analysis.
