Biography

James P. Stevens

"Stevens does an excellent job showing students how to use and read computer output...A strength of this book is the author's very clear explanation of power analysis...The author's presentation style is very readable and easy to follow."
—The American Statistician

"Extremely useful to those conducting educational or other similar research."
—The Statistician

"The greatest strength is the accessibility of the material...readers are exposed to differences in approaches and philosophy for data analyses and are given enough information to make informed decisions for themselves...The illustrations and screen dumps are a strong feature."   -Dale E. Berger, PhD, Dept. of Psychology, Claremont Graduate University

"I have not found a textbook that manages the link between intermediate statistical concepts and their application better than Professor Stevens' Intermediate Statistics...The chapter on power analysis is one-of-a-kind...the conceptual and practical appraoch...and the emphasis on assumptions of the statistical tests...separates it from others...this is one of the only textbooks to cover Multiple Regression and ANOVA from their own unique perspectives."   - Gordon P. Brooks, PhD, Dept. of Educational Studies, Ohio University

"I am currently using Stevens 2/e for my Advanced Statistics course for first year graduate students...my class emphasizes the connections between ANOVA and regression...this was one of the only books that covered both topics on a level accessible for clinical students...I will definitely use the 3rd Edition." -Michael Milburn, PhD, Dept. of Psychology, University of Massachusetts-Boston
