For Business, Behavioural & Social Science Research

This book provides a set of descriptions and illustrations for a comprehensive range of statistical procedures as they are applied in quantitative research in business and the behavioural and social sciences. It provides a conceptual overview of each procedure: what it is; what it does; and where you can go to find out more about it. Along the way you will encounter discussions of some of the more important and fundamental statistical concepts that underpin many of the procedures you will explore. You will also learn what computer programs are available to carry out specific statistical procedures and see the sorts of analytical and interpretive information they can yield.

You will not find a single formula within the covers of this book except for a small Appendix Instead, this book is designed to help you understand when and why various statistical concepts and procedures might be useful and shows you how to make some sense of what various procedures produce in terms of interpretive outcomes. You don’t need formulas or complex mathematics to achieve this understanding.
