Reviews & endorsements
‘Dr Warne’s gift for teaching statistics is apparent in his writing of this book. Indeed, I wish I had this book when I was a student. His use of the General Linear Model as a schema for understanding how statistical methods are interrelated sets the book apart from others.’ Leena J. Landmark, Associate Professor of Special Education, Sam Houston State University, USA
