A valuable new edition of a standard in the field of statistics

For the ever–increasing number of practitioners who must perform sophisticated statistical analyses on computers, Applied Statistics: Analysis of Variance and Regression has long been a standard reference and text. This new Third Edition has been thoroughly revised to provide a comprehensive and up–to–date combination of sound statistical methodology, practical advice on the application of this methodology, and interpretation of output from statistical programs.

Special features of this edition include:

• A highly readable text, with mathematical background kept at a low level
• Comprehensive treatment of each topic, from summarization of data to presentation of results
• Careful explanation of assumptions, how to check if the data meet them, and what to do if they don′t
• A greater emphasis on regression, data screening, and confidence intervals
• In–depth discussion of design–related topics such as mixed models and random effects
• Graded and challenging exercises at the end of each chapter and on the Wiley ftp site
• Overviews of more advanced topics
• An extensively revised chapter on repeated measures designs

Eminently suitable for students and researchers who may not have a calculus background as well as for more advanced practitioners, this self–contained, comprehensive treatment of variance and regression analysis readies a new generation of researchers for the demands of this growing field.
