I first received this book toward the end of the required stat courses (Multivariate Methods)...boy, do I wish I had it sooner. Everything is laid out in concise format, it is easy to read, and the material is... more info
Customer Review: A wealth of information for both the novice and experienced researcher. The sections on social measurements and indices are most impressive. Excellent resource guide for the serious researcher.
