Product Updates

  • New statistical topics. Two topics that were requested most consistently from first edition users were repeated measures designs and time series. We have added new material (Topic 8.6) to give a brief introduction to repeated measures designs and for instructors who want more depth in this topic, we have included three more sections in the online material. We have also added Chapter 12, giving a brief introduction to working with time series data. In addition to these new sections and chapters, we have made numerous changes to include new ideas (e.g., effect sizes) and give more guidance to students (e.g., choosing a transformation).
  • New organization. We reorganized the material in Unit B to better integrate ideas of experimental design with the topics of ANOVA. Chapter 6 now focuses on block designs and the additive ANOVA model, with interaction coming in Chapter 7, and additional ANOVA topics in Chapter 8.
  • New exercises and examples. The second edition has 243 worked examples and 646 exercises for students, increases of 76% and 63% over the first edition. We have also updated and revised almost 100 examples and exercises that are carried over from the first edition.
  • New datasets. We have 64 new datasets dealing with real data, many from research studies. We have also updated datasets from the first edition to bring the total dataset count to 172. Datasets are available in various formats for different software packages and a data index after the general index lists all datasets and where they are used in the text.
  • New design. A new, full-color design incorporates all-new figures, charts, and graphs. In addition, important definitions and explanations are highlighted for emphasis. Our goal in creating this design was to make the reading and learning experience more approachable by instructors and students alike.

NEW PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES

  • Chapter opening section lists give an at-a-glance look at the content therein.
  • Learning objectives outline goals and expectations that help instructors create their syllabi and students understand where theyā€™re headed.
  • Caution icons and text signal common misconceptions and important ideas to help the student avoid pitfalls and grasp  key concepts.
  • Data icons highlight the data set in use for each example and exercise.
  • Key terms are highlighted in the margins to help students build a solid statistics vocabulary.

The unifying theme of this text is the use of models in statistical data analysis.

Now available with Macmillan’s online learning platform Achieve Essentials, STAT2 introduces students to statistical modeling beyond what they have learned in a Stat 101 college course or an AP Statistics course.  Building on basic concepts and methods learned in that course, STAT2 empowers students to analyze richer datasets that include more variables and address a broader range of research questions.


Other than a working understanding of exponential and logarithmic functions, there are no prerequisites beyond successful completion of their first statistics course. To help all students make a smooth transition to this course, Chapter 0 reminds students of basic statistical terminology and also uses the familiar two-sample t-test as a way to illustrate the approach of specifying, estimating, and testing a statistical model.

Using STAT2, students will:

  • Go beyond their Stat 101 experience by learning to develop and apply models with both quantitative and categorical response variables, and with multiple explanatory variables. STAT2 Chapters are grouped into units that consider models based on the type of response and type of predictors.
  • Discover that the practice of statistical modeling involves applying an interactive process. STAT2 employs a four-step process in all statistical modeling: Choose a form for the model, fit the model to the data, assess how well the model describes the data, and use the model to address the question of interest.
  • Learn how to apply their developing judgment about statistical modeling. STAT2 introduces the idea of constructing statistical models at the very beginning, in a setting that students encountered in their Stat 101 course. This modeling focus continues throughout the course as students encounter new and increasingly more complicated scenarios.
  • Analyze and draw conclusions from real data, which is crucial for preparing students to use statistical modeling in their professional lives. STAT2 incorporates real and rich data throughout the text. Using real data to address genuine research questions helps motivate students to study statistics. The richness stems not only from interesting contexts in a variety of disciplines, but also from the multivariable nature of most datasets.

Achieve Essentials for Stat2 connects the problem-solving techniques and real world examples in the book to rich digital resources that foster further understanding and application of statistics. Assets in Achieve Essentials support learning before, during, and after class for students, while providing instructors with class performance analytics in an easy-to-use interface.
