About our authorAlan Agresti is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Florida. He has been teaching statistics there for 30 years, including the development of 3 courses in statistical methods for social science students and 3 courses in categorical data analysis. He is author of over 100 refereed article and 4 texts including Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning From Data (with Christine Franklin, Pearson, 4th edition 2017) and Categorical Data Analysis (Wiley, 3rd edition 2012). He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and recipient of an Honorary Doctor of Science from De Montfort University in the UK. In 2003 he was named Statistician of the Year by the Chicago chapter of the American Statistical Association and in 2004 he was the first honoree of the Herman Callaert Leadership Award in Biostatistical Education and Dissemination awarded by the University of Limburgs, Belgium. He has held visiting positions at Harvard University, Boston University, London School of Economics, and Imperial College and has taught courses or short courses for universities and companies in about 20 countries worldwide. He has also received teaching awards from UF and an excellence in writing award from John Wiley & Sons.
- Introduction
- Sampling and Measurement
- Descriptive Statistics
- Probability Distributions
- Statistical Inference: Estimation
- Statistical Inference: Significance Tests
- Comparison of Two Groups
- Analyzing Association between Categorical Variables
- Linear Regression and Correlation
- Introduction to Multivariate Relationships
- Multiple Regression and Correlation
- Model Building with Multiple Regression
- Logistic Regression: Modeling Categorical Responses
- An Introduction to Advanced Methodology
- Real examples help students learn the fundamental concepts of sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and significance tests.
- Low technical level in first 9 chapters makes the text accessible to undergraduates.
- Integration of descriptive and inferential statistics features appear from an early point in the text.
- Strong emphasis on regression topics outlines special cases of a generalized linear model, supported by a wide variety of regression models (such as linear regression, ANOVA, logistic, and regression).
- Descriptive statistics chapter gives students early exposure to contingency tables, regression, concepts of association, and response and explanatory variables.
- Relative frequency concept is introduced in chapter 4 and briefly summarizes 3 basic probability rules occasionally applied in the text.
- Greater integration of statistical software: Software output shown now uses R and Stata instead of only SAS and SPSS. The appendix provides instructions about basic use.
- New examples and exercises ask students to use applets to help learn the fundamental concepts of sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and significance tests. The text also now relies more on applets for finding tail probabilities from distributions such as the normal, t, and chi-squared.
- ANOVA coverage has been reorganized to put more emphasis on using regression models with dummy variables to handle categorical explanatory variables.
- Content updates:
- Chapter 5 has a new section that introduces maximum likelihood estimation and the bootstrap method.Chapter 13 on regression modeling now has a new section using case studies to illustrate how research studies commonly use regression with both types of explanatory variables. The chapter also has a new section introducing linear mixed models.
- Chapter 14 contains a new section on robust regression covering standard errors and nonparametric regression. Chapter 16 has 2 new sections: Multiple imputation methods to help deal with missing data and Multilevel Models.
