This is the first book to introduce the new statistics - effect
sizes, confidence intervals, and meta-analysis - in an accessible
way. It is chock full of practical examples and tips on how to
analyze and report research results using these techniques. The
book is invaluable to readers interested in meeting the new APA
Publication Manual guidelines by adopting the new statistics -
which are more informative than null hypothesis significance
testing, and becoming widely used in many disciplines. Accompanying
the book is the Exploratory Software for Confidence Intervals
(ESCI) package, free software that runs under Excel and is
accessible at www.thenewstatistics.com. The book's exercises use
ESCI's simulations, which are highly visual and interactive, to
engage users and encourage exploration. Working with the
simulations strengthens understanding of key statistical ideas.
There are also many examples, and detailed guidance to show readers
how to analyze their own data using the new statistics, and
practical strategies for interpreting the results. A particular
strength of the book is its explanation of meta-analysis, using
simple diagrams and examples. Understanding meta-analysis is
increasingly important, even at undergraduate levels, because
medicine, psychology and many other disciplines now use
meta-analysis to assemble the evidence needed for evidence-based
practice. The book's pedagogical program, built on cognitive
science principles, reinforces learning: Boxes provide
"evidence-based" advice on the most effective statistical
techniques. Numerous examples reinforce learning, and show that
many disciplines are using the new statistics. Graphs are tied in
with ESCI to make important concepts vividly clear and memorable.
Opening overviews and end of chapter take-home messages summarize
key points. Exercises encourage exploration, deep understanding,
and practical applications. This highly accessible book is intended
as the core text for any course that emphasizes the new statistics,
or as a supplementary text for graduate and/or advanced
undergraduate courses in statistics and research methods in
departments of psychology, education, human development , nursing,
and natural, social, and life sciences. Researchers and
practitioners interested in understanding the new statistics, and
future published research, will also appreciate this book. A basic
familiarity with introductory statistics is assumed.
