Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures, Fifth Edition

Unsurpassed in accessibility, practicality, and scope, the fifth edition of this classic handbook provides up-to-date, in-depth coverage of more than 160 statistical procedures as well as both theoretical and practical statistical topics. Including two new chapters on statistical modeling, this updated fifth edition contains substantial new material on statistical quality control, meta-analysis and time series analysis. Each chapter presents at least one example of how to compute a statistical test and offers decision tables to help determine the appropriate test.

Following in the footsteps of its bestselling predecessors, the Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures, Fifth Edition provides researchers, teachers, and students with an all-inclusive reference on univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistical procedures.

New in the Fifth Edition:

• Substantial updates and new material throughout
• New chapters on path analysis, meta-analysis, and structural equation modeling
• Index numbers and time series analysis applications in business and economics
• Statistical quality control applications in industry
• Random- and fixed-effects models for the analysis of variance

Broad in scope, the Handbook is intended for individuals involved in a wide spectrum of academic disciplines encompassing the fields of mathematics, the social, biological, and environmental sciences, business, and education. A reference for statistically sophisticated individuals, the Handbook is also accessible to those lacking the theoretical or mathematical background required for understanding subject matter typically documented in statistics reference books.
