Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET. Expanded and updated, the Third Edition of Gopal Kanji's best-selling resource on statistical tests covers all the most commonly used tests with information on how to calculate and interpret results with simple datasets. The Third Edition now includes: - a new introduction to statistical testing with information to guide even the non-statistician through the book quickly and easily - real-world explanations of how and when to use each test with examples drawn from wide range of disciplines - a useful Classification of Tests table - all the relevant statistical tables for checking critical valu All of the most commonly used tests are clarified for researchers. Information on how to calculate and interpret results is given with sample datasets and expanded information on the limitations of tests Having collected together a number of tests, it is necessary to consider what can be tested, and we include here some very general remarks about the general problem of hypothesis testing.
