Handbook of Data Analysis [Paperback]

This book provides a first-class, reliable guide to the basic issues in data analysis, such as the construction of variables, the characterization of distributions and the notions of inference. Scholars and students can turn to it for teaching and applied needs with confidence. No other book provides a better one-stop survey of the field of data analysis. In 30 specially commissioned chapters the editors aim to encourage readers to develop an appreciation of the range of analytic options available, so they can choose a research problem and then develop a suitable approach to data analysis.This book provides a first-class, reliable guide to the basic issues in data analysis, such as the construction of variables, the characterization of distributions and the notions of inference.

An excellent and comprehensive text that will provide a useful reference point for conscientious students.Great book that covers all the principle data analysis techniques.

I recommend it for several courses:
- Interview (Master);
- Research seminar in organisational psychology (Master);
- Work and organisational psychology (Master).
