Hardcover ISBN: 9781319054076

Pages: 624

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.

Flexibility Within and Between Units

The units and chapters are arranged to promote flexibility regarding order and depth in which topics are covered. Within a unit, some instructors may choose to “splice” in an additional topic when related ideas are first introduced. For example, Section 5.7 in the first ANOVA chapter introduces techniques for conducting pairwise comparisons with one-way ANOVA using Fisher’s LSD method. Instructors who prefer a more thorough discussion of pairwise comparison issues at this point, including alternate techniques such as the Bonferroni adjustment or Tukey’s HSD method, can proceed to present those ideas from Topic 8.2. Other instructors might want to move immediately to two-way ANOVA in Chapter 6 and then study pairwise procedures later.
Instructors can also adjust the order of topics between the units. For example, some might prefer to consider logistic regression models (Unit C) before studying ANOVA models (Unit B). Others might choose to study all three types of models in the “simple setting” (Chapters 1–2, 5, 9), and then return to consider each type of model with multiple predictors. One could also move to the ANOVA material in Unit B directly after starting with a review of the two-sample t-test for means in Chapter 0 and simple linear regression in Chapters 1 and 2.

Exercises

Developing skills of statistical modeling requires considerable practice working with real data. Homework exercises are an important component of this book and appear at the end of each chapter. These exercises are grouped into four categories:

Conceptual exercises. These questions are brief and require minimal (if any) calculations. They give students practice with applying basic terminology and assess students’ understanding of concepts introduced in the chapter.
Guided exercises. These exercises ask students to perform various stages of a modeling analysis process by providing specific prompts for the individual steps.
Open-ended exercises. These exercises ask for more complete analyses and reporting of conclusions, without much or any step-by-step direction.
Supplemental exercises. Topics for these exercises go somewhat beyond the scope of the material covered in the chapter.

Exercises in the Additional Topics chapters (4, 8, and 11) are grouped to align with the independent topics in those chapters.

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.

An approachable text with interesting and varied examples that demonstrates how statisticians approach data analysis. KB Boomer, Bucknell University

This book is consistent with the goals and recommendations of GAISE. It fits with my personal teaching philosophy, and it more than sufficiently covers all of the material needed in my course. It is well written, accessible to undergraduate non-majors, and contains up-to-date, engaging examples. Margaret Bryan, U Missouri - Columbia

This is THE BEST book as a second course for non-technical majors. I use it for undergraduates and graduates. The fact that it covers the main facets of applied statistics (regression, anova, and logistic) without a bunch of other topics that are not used much is a plus. Linda Clark, Central CT State

Very readable but not at too low a level. It is a wonderful approach to topics that we never have time for in a first statistics course. It allows the instructor to focus on a variety of topics, in different orders. Julie Clark, Hollins U

A wonderful text for courses that follow an introductory statistics course. There is a wealth of material that is accessible and is presented in a manner that is interesting and makes sense. Important ideas of model assumptions are stressed (never glossed over) and the data is all real-world. This text explains how a scientist in any field might actually use statistical ideas in his/her work. Julie Clark, Hollins U.

A gentle, well-written, introduction to regression (and ANOVA/design and categorical data analysis) with plenty of examples and loads of exercises with interesting data. Linda Brant Collins, U. Chicago

A very clear and thorough introduction to some traditionally tough concepts for students to grasp. I think a student could actually go out and conduct a statistical analysis after learning from this text. Leslie Hendrix, U. of South Carolina

It covers all the essential topics in regression without getting tangled up in the mathematics and focuses on the use and interpretation of data.

STAT2 simultaneously teaches students about the practice of analyzing data and the reasons the analysis works. Students using the text will come away with both practical skills and a solid understanding. I wouldnt want to teach out of any other book. Dominic Klyve, Central WA U.

STAT2: Why bother with any other book? Dominic Klyve, Central WA U.

This is an excellent book for students who are coming out of an AP Stat (or equivalent) course. It will solidify the foundation of students who are looking to take more than one or two statistics courses. Chris Lacke, Rowan U.

STAT2 is a very applied undergraduate statistics text that covers regression and ANOVA and offers a lot of flexibility in what topics you can cover and in the amount of detail you wish to present to your students. Wilmina Magret, John Carroll U.
