Data Analysis : A Model Comparison Approach

"This text’s focus on a unifying framework and nonthreatening style sets it apart. I would certainly recommend this book to a student or colleague struggling to gain an intuitive understanding of the concepts. The original edition was popular and influential. I expect the second edition will be as well." - Kristopher J. Preacher, University of Kansas

"I am absolutely delighted to report that in virtually every way I could hope for, the new edition is better. The scholarship is top-notch, but in a very accessible way. The authors write beautifully ... I will absolutely adopt and recommend the second edition. I love it." - J. Michael Bailey, Northwestern University

"After reviewing eight potential textbooks for my ... graduate statistics course, I chose this one ... The thoroughness with which the book teaches the model comparison approach allows students to understand and develop meaningful analyses of their own data." -Deborah M. Clawson, Catholic University, USA

"This second edition is the perfect book for today's data analysts." -David Kenny, University of Connecticut, USA
