Methods for dealing with these concerns have been derived and can provide a deeper, more accurate and more nuanced understanding of data. A conceptual basis is provided for understanding when and why standard methods can have poor power and yield misleading measures of effect size. Modern techniques for dealing with known concerns are described and illustrated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents an in-depth description of both classic and modern methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains and illustrates why recent advances can provide more power and a deeper understanding of data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides numerous illustrations using the software R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes an R package with over 1300 functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a solution manual giving detailed answers to all of the exercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second edition describes many recent advances relevant to basic techniques.
