{"product_id":"empirical-direction-in-design-and-analysis","title":"Empirical Direction in Design and Analysis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe goal of Norman H. Anderson's new book is to help students develop skills of scientific inference. To accomplish this he organized the book around the \"Experimental Pyramid\"--six levels that represent a hierarchy of considerations in empirical investigation--conceptual framework, phenomena, behavior, measurement, design, and statistical inference. To facilitate conceptual and empirical understanding, Anderson de-emphasizes computational formulas and null hypothesis testing. Other features include:\u003cbr\u003e *emphasis on visual inspection as a basic skill in experimental analysis to help students develop an intuitive appreciation of data patterns;\u003cbr\u003e *exercises that emphasize development of conceptual and empirical application of methods of design and analysis and de-emphasize formulas and calculations; and\u003cbr\u003e *heavier emphasis on confidence intervals than significance tests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book is intended for use in graduate-level experimental design\/research methods or statistics courses in psychology, education, and other applied social sciences, as well as a professional resource for active researchers. The first 12 chapters present the core concepts graduate students must understand. The next nine chapters serve as a reference handbook by focusing on specialized topics with a minimum of technicalities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236652142936,"sku":"9780805839784","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780805839784_aa6e0869-b984-4504-bd64-c5e5b6619ff8.jpg?v=1769697942","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/empirical-direction-in-design-and-analysis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
