Description:

This book presents nonparametric statistical procedures in a clear manner and was specifically written for readers with a background in the social, behavioral, and health sciences. The book follows the same format in all chapters to aid in reader comprehension, and each chapter begins with a general introduction and a list of the chapter's main learning objectives. A nonparametric procedure is then presented and is followed by context-based examples in a step-by-step fashion. Next, SPSS screen captures are used to demonstrate how to perform and how to identify the steps in the various procedures. Finally, the authors identify and briefly describe actual examples of corresponding…
