STATISTICAL POWER ANALYSIS (paper
w/CD) |
|
This book presents a simple and general method for conducting
statistical power analysis based on the widely used F statistic. The book illustrates how
these analyses work and how they can be applied to problems of studying design, to
evaluate others' research, and to choose the appropriate criterion for defining
"statistically significant" outcomes. Statistical Power Analysis examines the
four major applications of power analysis, concentrating on how to determine:
*the sample size needed to achieve desired levels of power;
*the level of power that is needed in a study;
*the size of effect that can be reliably detected by a study; and
*sensible criteria for statistical significance.
Highlights of the second edition include: a CD with an easy-to-use statistical power
analysis program; a new chapter on power analysis in multi-factor ANOVA, including
repeated-measures designs; and a new One-Stop PV Table to serve as a quick reference
guide.
The book discusses the application of power analysis to both traditional null hypothesis
tests and to minimum-effect testing. It demonstrates how the same basic model applies to
both types of testing and explains how some relatively simple procedures allow researchers
to ask a series of important questions about their research. Drawing from the behavioral
and social sciences, the authors present the material in a nontechnical way so that
readers with little expertise in statistical analysis can quickly obtain the values needed
to carry out the power analysis.
Ideal for students and researchers of statistical and research methodology in the social,
behavioral, and health sciences who want to know how to apply methods of power analysis to
their research.
