Nolan and Heinzen’s pedagogy first emphasises mastering concepts, and then gives students multiple step-by-step examples, including the mathematical calculations, to solidify the important processes in students understanding.
Extensive Check Your Learning exercises at the end of each section help students master content before moving on to new concepts.
Keeps students up-to-update with coverage of emerging trends and challenges in the field of behavioural statistics, including visual displays of data, crowdsourcing data, reproducibility, and Bayesian analysis.

Data Ethics feature throughout the book introduces students to current research practices and the set of principles related to all stages of working with data from research design to statistical analyses and reporting of outcomes.
A chapter focusing on choosing the right statistical test and reporting statistical results provides students with key information on the considerations to be made when reporting data as behavioural scientists.
Highlights innovative ways to display variability in data sets, with examples that help students visualise the challenges and benefits.
