Hi Edward

EB> I am interested in buying the following books "Statistics at Square One"
EB> and "Research Methods II: Multivariate Analysis" .

These are on-line books... As a matter of fact, I don't think the
second one exists in hard copy (unless you take the time to download
every pdf file and print them, as I did).
http://www.oxfordjournals.org/tropej/online/ma.html

The first one, Statistics at Square One, can be viewed on line too
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/collections/statsbk/index.shtml
Until I bought it, I made the effort of printing to PDF every chapter
and putting all chapter together in one single file. It's quite easy
(if you have Acrobat PDF Writer installed in you computer).

A printed version (10th edition, instead of 9th edition, the one on line)
can be bought at BMJ e-store:
http://www.bmjbookshop.com/shop/product_display.asp?&SiteLanguage=ENG&productid=0727915525

Once there, if you are really insterested in buying books, then take a
look also at "Statistics at Square Two" (I bought it too, quite good)


Regards,
Marta

EB> Hi everybody:

EB> Since a lot of questions to this list concern theoretical issues, I

EB> 1 Data display and summary
EB> 2 Mean and standard deviation
EB> 3 Populations and samples
EB> 4 Statements of probability and confidence intervals
EB> 5 Differences between means: type I and type II errors and power
EB> 6 Differences between percentages and paired alternatives
EB> 7 The t tests
EB> 8 The chi-squared tests
EB> 9 Exact probabilty test
EB> 10 Rank score tests
EB> 11 Correlation and regression
EB> 12 Survival analysis
EB> 13 Study design and choosing a statistical test

EB> Available as on-line book (HTML) at:

EB> SPSS syntax code (written by me and kindly hosted by King Douglas) for
EB> the book exercises and examples is available at:
EB> http://www.kingdouglas.com/SPSS/DiverseCultures/Marta/Code/BMJ%20-%20Stats%20Square%20One.txt

EB> pieces together...)
