"Research looked at emotional reactions to infidelity and found that men get homicidal and suicidal and women feel undesirable and insecure (Shackelford, LeBlanc, & Drass, 2000)."
"The reason why some people think that certain statistical tests allow causal inferences is because historically certain test (e.g. ANOVA, t-test, etc.) have been used to analyse experimental research, whereas others (e.g. regression, correlation) have been used to analyse correlational research (Cro"
"In a normal distribution the values of skew and kurtosis are 0 (i.e. the tails of the distribution are as they should be). If a distribution has values of skew or kurtosis above or below 0 then this indicates a deviation from normal"
"The standard deviation of sample means is known as the standard error of the mean (SE)"
"A confidence interval for the mean is a range of scores constructed such that the population mean will fall within this range in 95% of samples. The confidence interval is not an interval within which we are 95% confident that the population mean will fall."
"Fisher (1925/1991) (Figure 2.9) describes an experiment designed to test a claim by a woman that she could determine, by tasting a cup of tea, whether the milk or the tea was added first to the cup. what about if we complicated things by having six cups? There are 20 orders in which these cups can b"
"test statistic = variance explained by the model / variance not explained by the model = effect / error The reason why this ratio is so useful is intuitive really: if our model is good then we'd expect it to be able to explain more variance than it can't explain. In this case, the test statistic wil"

完全不对读者的数学做任何要求,学习SPSS必不可少的一本参考书,关于统计学基本概念也讲得很详细。
如果Andy叔把他童年囧事、连篇废话以及各种crazy的例子删掉的话,此书至少要变薄三分之二!!!
非常全面的好书...considerate~!
研究生上课的时候全靠它减肥了
a good text for SPSS and statistical concepts
The damn statistics. 我这一个多年数学空白的人的老命啊!作者真的是太幽默太酷,但是统计学补起来实在是吃力。读得第三版,内容为统计学、SPSS使用方法乃至报告方法,但因为没工具以及各种各样原因,我没有看练习题。书后terms很清晰,但我能记住的实在是太少了,需要二刷。
