Applied Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics Using Python A practical, “how-to” reference for anyone performing essential statistical analyses and data management tasks in Python Applied Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics Using Python delivers a comprehensive introduction to a wide range of statistical methods performed using Python in a single, one-stop reference. The book contains user-friendly guidance and instructions on using Python to run a variety of statistical procedures without getting bogged down in unnecessary theory. Throughout, the author emphasizes a set of computational tools used in the discovery of empirical patterns, as well as several popular statistical analyses and data management tasks that can be immediately applied.Most of the datasets used in the book are small enough to be easily entered into Python manually, though they can also be downloaded for free from www.datapsyc.com. Only minimal knowledge of statistics is assumed, making the book perfect for those seeking an easily accessible toolkit for statistical analysis with Python. Applied Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics Using Python represents the fastest way to learn how to analyze data with Python.Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:A review of essential statistical principles, including types of data, measurement, significance tests, significance levels, and type I and type II errorsAn introduction to Python, exploring how to communicate with PythonA treatment of exploratory data analysis, basic statistics and visual displays, including frequencies and descriptives, q-q plots, box-and-whisker plots, and data managementAn introduction to topics such as ANOVA, MANOVA and discriminant analysis, regression, principal components analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, among others, exploring the nature of what these techniques can vs. cannot do on a methodological levelPerfect for undergraduate and graduate students in the social, behavioral, and natural sciences, Applied Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics Using Python will also earn a place in the libraries of researchers and data analysts seeking a quick go-to resource for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis in Python.

AN UPDATED GUIDE TO STATISTICAL MODELING TECHNIQUES USED IN THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES The revised and updated second edition of Applied Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics: Understanding Statistics for Social and Natural Scientists, with Applications in SPSS and R contains an accessible introduction to statistical modeling techniques commonly used in the social and behavioral sciences. The text offers a blend of statistical theory and methodology and reviews both the technical and theoretical aspects of good data analysis. Featuring applied resources at various levels, the book includes statistical techniques using software packages such as R and SPSS®. To promote a more in-depth interpretation of statistical techniques across the sciences, the book surveys some of the technical arguments underlying formulas and equations. The thoroughly updated edition includes new chapters on nonparametric statistics and multidimensional scaling, and expanded coverage of time series models. The second edition has been designed to be more approachable by minimizing theoretical or technical jargon and maximizing conceptual understanding with easy-to-apply software examples. This important text: Offers demonstrations of statistical techniques using software packages such as R and SPSS® Contains examples of hypothetical and real data with statistical analyses Provides historical and philosophical insights into many of the techniques used in modern social science Includes a companion website that includes further instructional details, additional data sets, solutions to selected exercises, and multiple programming options Written for students of social and applied sciences, Applied Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics, Second Edition offers a text to statistical modeling techniques used in social and behavioral sciences.
