商品簡介
This dictionary is intended to serve as a stand-by reference for social and behavioral science students who may encounter unfamiliar statistical and methodological terms and concepts while reading research publications. The entries are thoroughly cross-referenced, with each term used in the definitions itself defined in the dictionary, thus allowing readers to work backwards from advanced concepts until they reach definitions they understand (this also allows each entry to be kept relatively short and simple in and of itself, even for the most complex topics). For this new edition, some 400 new terms have been added, bringing the number of entries up to approximately 2800. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
