The spread of sophisticated computer packages and the machinery on which to run them has meant that procedures which were previously only available to experienced researchers with access to expensive machines and research students can now be carried out in a few seconds by almost every undergraduate. Understanding and Using Advanced Statistics provides the basis for gaining an understanding of what these analytic procedures do, when they should be used, and what the results provided signify. This comprehensive textbook guides students and researchers through the transition from simple statistics to more complex procedures with accessible language and illustration.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Foster and colleagues provide basic understanding and knowledge of some statistical procedures being increasingly used in numerous diverse real-life situations; this volume particularly addresses problems in the social sciences. . . .This is an interesting book with complex statistical procedures in a simple, easy-to-understand style. It should appeal to all readers with limited knowledge of mathematics who want to learn the applications of these techniques. Summing Up: Highly recommended. (D. V. Chopra CHOICE )

This review is from: Understanding and Using Advanced Statistics: A Practical Guide for Students (Paperback)
Although the book as the word 'Understanding' in its title I did not find it to be very useful in clarifying the concepts at all. I read the two chapters of MANOVA and Factor analysis, and although i had all the jargon that anyone would ever use when discussing these topics i had no idea how to connect them. this book is neither for beginners (as it does not explain concepts) nor do i think it is detailed or rigorous enough for advanced users.
