Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences

"...provides a very convenient source for formulas and tables to compute power in some common analyses....the excellent writing allows lending the book and being comfortable in expecting the scientist to use the book for power calculations with little assistance."—Technometrics"This is the second edition of work that has become a minor classic. It ranks as a required reference for research grant applications in the social sciences....It provides a much-needed reference for those not as numerically proficient as many JASA readers....overall the book is clearly written."—Journal of the American Statistical Association"...provides readers who apply statistical analyses to their data with descriptions of the rationale for each of several procedures as well as the steps in computation separately and does so in a clearly written style."—Perceptual and Motor Skills
