  • A new chapter on the analysis of missing data and the use of multiple-imputation methods
  • Extensive revision of the chapter on ANOVA
  • Additional material on the application of power analysis
The book covers data management; good work habits, including the use of basic do-files; basic exploratory statistics, including graphical displays; and analyses using the standard array of basic statistical tools, such as correlation, linear and logistic regression, and parametric and nonparametric tests of location and dispersion.
