Presenting Statistical Results Effectively
Autor Robert Andersen, David A. Armstrong IIen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2021
Focused on best practices for building statistical models and effectively communicating their results, this book helps you:
- Find the right analytic and presentation techniques for your type of data
- Understand the cognitive processes involved in decoding information
- Assess distributions and relationships among variables
- Know when and how to choose tables or graphs
- Build, compare, and present results for linear and non-linear models
- Work with univariate, bivariate, and multivariate distributions
- Communicate the processes involved in and importance of your results.

Recenzii
Is your quantitative work so screamingly clear that your readers never misunderstand your figures, misread your tables, or get confused by your prose? If so, then don't waste your time with Andersen and Armstrong's thoughtful book about the effective presentation and interpretation of statistical results.
