Description
Collaboration between statisticians and behavioural scientists can benefit both the design and analysis of a practical research post. In this case-orientated approach the authors demonstrate how such a collaboration works, using an example drawn from child psychiatry. This is followed through to show the statistical techniques available to tackle a range of research questions and data. This book is designed to be of interest to postgraduate students of psychological statistics.
