It will provide students with a range of tools to help interpret data in the context of their research and to be appropriately selective in the choice of methods for handling data. Through its many features, concise content and overall clarity of writing this should be popular for students in a range of disciplines. It clearly explains the range of statistical techniques and their common applications and offers a useful evaluation of the context in which they should be applied.
