(8 reviews) Author: ISBN : 9780761912743 New from $36.98 Format: PDFPopular in its first edition, Dictionary of Statistics and Methodology will help students get through a difficult journal article or passage. This useful dictionary has been revised with 600 additional new terms and definitions compiled from readers' requests and suggestions! As you've come to appreciate in the first edition, the Second Edition of the Dictionary of Statistics and Methodology contains many examples and definitions written in ordinary English. Author W. Paul Vogt pays special attention to terms that most often prevent educated general readers from understanding journal articles and books by emphasizing concepts over calculations. The level of explanation varies with the simplicity or complexity of the term defined so that more detail is offered for basic terms (for more introductory readers) while less is used to explain more advanced concepts for readers who have more background.

Dictionary of Statistics & Methodology: A Nontechnical Guide for the Social Sciences PDF
This book provides the reader with short definitions of statistical and research terms in easy-to-understand language. It removes some of the mystery. I work with graduate students who are writing research proposals and either theses or dissertations. While they have completed coursework in statistics, they are unfamiliar with many of the terms that are used in journal articles and research books. This book provides a link to help them understand what they are reading and allows them to write their papers with more authority. I have recommended this book to my students, and the professors at several universities with whom I work. These professors are now suggesting their students purchase this book during their coursework to help them with critiques and other assignments.By June A. Cline
This is by far the most accessible, comprehensive, andBy Michael Hazel
useful stat. reference book I have ever seen. At this
writing, I am a doctoral candidate in Communication and
have taken a variety of graduate level stat.courses from
the Math Stat. department at WSU. I wish I had
discovered this book earlier, as it would have been of
immense help. I am truly impressed with the author's clarity,
and the ease with which this text can be used by
beginning and advanced students alike. My hat goes off to
Professor Vogt.
