Description

Data Analysis for Social Scientists will supply you with the necessary background and instruction to begin applying statistics to research, helping you learn to draw reasonable conclusions about data. This book stresses the practical application of statistics, rather than mathematical theory. Through the analysis of real data - supplied for you on the book's data disk - you will develop the critical thinking skills needed to apply statistical analysis to social science research. Data Analysis for Social Scientists also demonstrates the important role computers play in modern statistics. Many computer examples allow you to practice the methods researchers use to manipulate data, and help you learn how to use and interpret statistics, without the hassles of hand calculation.
