Description:... This volume is the English version of the second edition of the bilingual textbook by Rasch, Verdooren and Gowers (1999). A parallel version in German is available from the same publisher. This book is intended for students and experimental scientists in all disciplines and presumes only elementary statistical knowledge. This prerequisite knowledge is summarised briefly in appendix B. Knowledge of differential and integral calculus is not necessary for the understanding of the text. Matrix notation is explained in Appendix C. As well as the correction of errors, the present edition differs from the first by the introduction of some new sections, such as that on testing the equality of two proportions (Section 3.4.4), and the inclusion of sequential tests. All new material is accompanied by descriptions of the relevant SPSS and CADEMO procedures.
