Reviews
"Stevens does an excellent job showing students how to use and read computer output...A strength of this book is the author's very clear explanation of power analysis...The author's presentation style is very readable and easy to follow." --The American Statistician "Extremely useful to those conducting educational or other similar research." --The Statistician "The greatest strength is the accessibility of the material...readers are exposed to differences in approaches and philosophy for data analyses and are given enough information to make informed decisions for themselves...The illustrations and screen dumps are a strong feature." -Dale E. Berger, PhD, Dept. of Psychology, Claremont Graduate University "I have not found a textbook that manages the link between intermediate statistical concepts and their application better than Professor Stevens' Intermediate Statistics...The chapter on power analysis is one-of-a-kind...the conceptual and practical appraoch...and the emphasis on assumptions of the statistical tests...separates it from others...this is one of the only textbooks to cover Multiple Regression and ANOVA from their own unique perspectives." - Gordon P. Brooks, PhD, Dept. of Educational Studies, Ohio University "I am currently using Stevens 2/e for my Advanced Statistics course for first year graduate students...my class emphasizes the connections between ANOVA and regression...this was one of the only books that covered both topics on a level accessible for clinical students...I will definitely use the 3rd Edition." -Michael Milburn, PhD, Dept. of Psychology, University of Massachusetts-Boston, "Stevens does an excellent job showing students how to use and read computer output...A strength of this book is the author's very clear explanation of power analysis...The author's presentation style is very readable and easy to follow." --The American Statistician "Extremely useful to those conducting educational or other similar research." --The Statistician "The greatest strength is the accessibility of the material...readers are exposed to differences in approaches and philosophy for data analyses and are given enough information to make informed decisions for themselves...The illustrations and screen dumps are a strong feature." -Dale E.

This is likely to be one of a few stat books that students will not sell...after the course is over. It is very readable without becoming too technical or buried in symbols and equations."- Lynne Edwards University of Minnesota "For a textbook with the scope that is intended, the overall content is quite good. The content for our own second-in-a-series course in statistical methods applied to educational research, very much matches with the topics covered by Stevens. In fact, several of my colleagues have made use of Stevens' first edition in the past."- Joseph Wisenbaker University of Georgia "There's a lot to like about what Stevens has chosen to emphasize. I especially like the emphasis on cross-validation and the reasons for it, which weaves through the [multiple regression] chapter as a unifying thread....This book serves a real need, and meets that need well."- George Cobb Mount Holyoke College, "Stevens does an excellent job showing students how to use and read computer output...A strength of this book is the author's very clear explanation of power analysis...The author's presentation style is very readable and easy to follow." --The American Statistician "Extremely useful to those conducting educational or other similar research." --The Statistician "The greatest strength is the accessibility of the material...readers are exposed to differences in approaches and philosophy for data analyses and are given enough information to make informed decisions for themselves...The illustrations and screen dumps are a strong feature." -Dale E.
