It is chock full of practical examples and tips on how to analyze and report research results using these techniques. The book is invaluable to readers interested in meeting the new APA \u003cem\u003ePublication Manual\u003c\/em\u003e guidelines by adopting the new statistics - which are more informative than null hypothesis significance testing, and becoming widely used in many disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccompanying the book is the Exploratory Software for Confidence Intervals (ESCI) package, free software that runs under Excel and is accessible at www.thenewstatistics.com. The book's exercises use ESCI's simulations, which are highly visual and interactive, to engage users and encourage exploration. Working with the simulations strengthens understanding of key statistical ideas. There are also many examples, and detailed guidance to show readers how to analyze their own data using the new statistics, and practical strategies for interpreting the results. A particular strength of the book is its explanation of meta-analysis, using simple diagrams and examples. Understanding meta-analysis is increasingly important, even at undergraduate levels, because medicine, psychology and many other disciplines now use meta-analysis to assemble the evidence needed for evidence-based practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's pedagogical program, built on cognitive science principles, reinforces learning: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eBoxes provide \"evidence-based\" advice on the most effective statistical techniques. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumerous examples reinforce learning, and show that many disciplines are using the new statistics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGraphs are tied in with ESCI to make important concepts vividly clear and memorable.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpening overviews and end of chapter take-home messages summarize key points.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExercises encourage exploration, deep understanding, and practical applications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis highly accessible book is intended as the core text for any course that emphasizes the new statistics, or as a supplementary text for graduate and\/or advanced undergraduate courses in statistics and research methods in departments of psychology, education, human development, nursing, and natural, social, and life sciences. Researchers and practitioners interested in understanding the new statistics, and future published research, will also appreciate this book.
