Summary

Summary

Psychologists routinely use statistics, but although there are many excellent statistics textbooks for psychologists, none cover the full range of statistical methods that might be encountered by psychology students and working psychologists. This dictionary fills this gap. It defines over 1,500 statistical terms used in psychology, many with mathematical details and numerical examples, and includes many graphs and illustrations. Anyone working in the field will find this both an invaluable guide and a source of ideas.
