5.0 out of 5 stars Very Succinct, Efficient, Applicable & Effective!, October 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 100 Statistical Tests (Paperback)

This reference text gives busy people at work exactly what they want, the way they want it. They know their data needs, so they look up the clear list of tests to find the test that meets that need, and follow the simple steps to implement it: assumptions, method, equation, and a brief example. No theory, no blabbing, just to the point and ready for use. Saves time, and reading. Also, having so many tests saves the hassle of looking for a specific test somewhere in the library. This is a complete investment!

A very useful general reference; even thick textbooks usually list only a subset of these tests -- and not in a uniform reference.

This review is from: 100 Statistical Tests (Paperback)

I would have liked a more cookbook step by step approach working from the raw data (similiar to the excellent Experiment, Design and Statistics in Psychology by Colin Robson). Many of the examples start from already claculated statistics. However there are typesetting errors in some of the worked examples (see page 121 for example) - consequently we cannot take any of the calculations at face value)

I would have liked to have seen a better way of navigating through the test, how to select between similar test and how they are likely to give different results. The index is poor.

Finally I would guess that most people are wanted to use these test in Excel, so Publishing tables of P vales Is not the best way - I would have liked a section on how to duplicate these results using Excel.

Having said that however Its a Valuable reference - but requires thoughtfull review - the tests are not that accessible
