Content:
Although many graduate students and researchers have had course work in statistics, they sometimes find themselves stumped in proceeding with a particular data analysis question. In fact, statistics is often taught as a lesson in mathematics as opposed to a strategy for answering questions about world[?], leaving beginning researchers at a loss for how to proceed. In these situations, it is common to turn to a statistical expert, the "go to" person when questions regarding appropriate data analysis emerge. 〈i〉Your Statistical Consultant 〈/i〉is an authentic alternative resource for describing, explaining, and making recommendations regarding thorny or confusing statistical issues. Written to be responsive to a wide range of inquiries and levels of expertise, this book is flexibly organized so readers can either read it sequentially or turn directly to the sections that correspond to their concerns and questions.

part 1. Data collection and exploration -- part 2. The logic of statistical analysis : issues regarding the nature of statistics and statistical tests -- part 3. Issues related to variables and their distribution -- part 4. Understanding the big two : major questions about analysis of variance and regression analysis.
