Description
Statistics and Experimental Design for Psychologists: A Model Comparison Approach provides a comprehensive introduction to statistical methods and experimental design. By combining theoretical explanations with practical guidance, this textbook offers a unique approach to understanding the links between models, hypotheses, and experimental designs. The book focuses on Occam's principle and significance testing, explaining how these concepts can be used to compare null and experimental hypotheses using parsimony and accuracy. A strong visual element is included, featuring clear illustrations of statistical concepts such as the F-ratio. This textbook covers a range of statistical methods, including ANOVA and basic experimental designs, and extends its coverage to multiple regression, exploratory factor analysis, and power calculations through online supplementary material.
