Applied nonparametric statistical methods

"This new edition follows the basic easy-to-digest pattern, and the authors substantially update and expand Applied Nonparametric Statistical Methods to reflect changing attitudes towards applied statistics, new developments, and the impact of more widely available and better statistical software.".

"The text takes into account computing developments since the publication of the second edition, rearranging the material in a more logical order, and introducing new topics. It emphasizes better use of significance tests and focuses greater attention on medical and dental applications.".

"The third edition offers coverage of topics - such as ethical considerations and calculation of power and of sample sizes needed; refers to a wide variety of statistical packages - such as StatXact, Minitab, Testimate, S-PLUS, Stata, and SPSS; and includes sections on the analysis of angular data, the use of captur-recapture methods, and the measurement of agreement between observers."--BOOK JACKET.
