This is an introductory textbook in data analysis and statistics,
designed for students in the first year of a social sciences
degree. The key concepts of data analysis are explained in a clear
and straightforward manner, avoiding unnecessary jargon. Very
little mathematical knowledge is assumed on the part of the reader,
and a variety of examples are used to illustrate the ideas and
techniques.
One of the central aims of the text is to ensure that students
understand the basic principles of exploratory data analysis before
they become involved in manipulating large quantities of data.
Hence the author generally uses small data sets to introduce the
key concepts, and gradually moves towards the handling of larger
data sets.
The text uses the Minitab computer analysis package, which is
one of the most popular statistical packages available in
institutions of higher and further education. Students are told how
to use the package before they are introduced to the ideas of
methods of data analysis.
This clear, jargon-free textbook will be an invaluable aid for
students beginning courses in the social sciences and related
fields, such as social policy, business studies and health
care.
