Very nice supplement for class

ByJBon April 19, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I purchased this book to help clarify some concepts I am learning in a graduate level course. Excellent job explaining these in another way to help cement the learning. Much better than the expensive textbook! I would highly recommend. Only downside is the publisher's website says we should be able to copy and paste passages from the kindle and that does not work.

Too basic. I regret buying it

ByPeteron September 7, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Too basic. Badly written. I just bought this book to learn more about the topic on a more solid basis but that is not what the book provides.

Indispensable for doctoral students

ByJeff Ringon April 24, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition

I gave this a five-star rating because its both a good, solid refresher on correlations, types of correlations to use with differing types of data, and discussion of how to check validity; and it also has useful syntax for SPSS and SAS software, staples for quantitative researchers everywhere.
