(470 KB)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first textbook for psychologists which combines the model comparison method in statistics with a hands-on guide to computer-based analysis and clear explanations of the links between models, hypotheses and experimental designs. Statistics is often seen as a set of cookbook recipes which must be learned by heart. Model comparison, by contrast, provides a mental roadmap that not only gives a deeper level of understanding but can be used as a general procedure to tackle those problems which can be solved using orthodox statistical methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStatistics and Experimental Design for Psychologists\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efocus on the role of Occam's principle, and explains significance testing as a means by which the null and experimental hypotheses are compared using the twin criteria of parsimony and accuracy. This approach is backed up with a strong visual element, including for the first time a clear illustration of what the F-ratio actually does, and why it is so ubiquitous in statistical testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book covers the main statistical methods up to multifactorial and repeated measures, ANOVA and the basic experimental designs associated with them.
