Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences, Global Edition

Gain the statistics skills you need for the social sciences with this accessible introductory guide Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences, 5th Edition, Global Edition, by Alan Agresti, introduces you to statistical methods used in social science disciplines with no previous knowledge of statistics necessary. With an emphasis on concepts and applications, the book requires only a minimal mathematical background, maintaining a low technical level throughout to make it accessible to beginners. The 5th edition has a strong focus on real examples to help you learn the fundamental concepts of sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and significance tests. This approach also helps you understand how to apply your learning to the real world. This edition also emphasises the interpretation of software output rather than the formulas for performing analysis, reflecting advances in statistical software - which are more frequently used by social scientists to analyse data today. Other updates include: Numerous homework exercises included in each chapter. Updated data in most exercises. New sections , such as that on maximum likelihood estimation in chapter 5 New examples ask students to use applets to help them learn the fundamental concepts of sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and significance tests. The text also relies more on applets for finding tail probabilities from distributions such as the Normal, t, and chi-squared. With a wide array of learning features and the latest available information, this text will equip you with the knowledge you need to succeed in your course - an ideal companion for students majoring in social science disciplines.

For courses in Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences . Statistical methods applied to social sciences, made accessible to all through an emphasis on concepts Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences introduces statistical methods to students majoring in social science disciplines. With an emphasis on concepts and applications, this book assumes you have no previous knowledge of statistics and only a minimal mathematical background. It contains sufficient material for a two-semester course. The 6th Edition gives you examples and exercises with a variety of “real data.” It includes more illustrations of statistical software for computations and takes advantage of the outstanding applets to explain key concepts, such as sampling distributions and conducting basic data analyses. It continues to downplay mathematics–often a stumbling block for students–while avoiding reliance on an overly simplistic recipe-based approach to statistics.

"Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences, Global Edition" er en lærebog af Alan Agresti, som på en lettilgængelig måde forklarer, hvordan man anvender statistiske metoder i samfundsvidenskab. Bogen introducerer statistiske metoder til de studerende, der har samfundsvidenskabelige discipliner som hovedfag. Med fokus på koncepter og anvendelse, antager bogen ikke, at den studerende har et tidligere kendskab til statistik, og den forventer kun en minimal matematisk baggrund. Denne femte udgave af Alan Agrestis "Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences" anvender eksempler og øvelser med 'rigtige data'. Bogen indeholder flere illustrationer af statistisk software til beregninger og bruger applets til at forklare nøglebegreber.
