Advanced Statistical Methods 1 ADVANCED STATISTICAL METHODS: PART 1: INTRODUCTION TO PROPENSITY SCORES IN STATA Learning objectives: To understand the use of propensity scores as a means for controlling for selection bias in observational studies of treatment effects. Basis of such understanding, is the primary function of modern statistical methods. Our objective in producing this Handbook is to be comprehensive in terms of concepts and techniques (but not necessarily exhaustive), representative and independent in terms of software tools, and above all practical in terms of application and implementation.
Description
Ideal for non-math majors, Advanced and Multivariate Statistical Methods teaches students to interpret, present, and write up results for each statistical technique without overemphasizing advanced math. This highly applied approach covers the why, what, when and how of advanced and multivariate statistics in a way that is neither too technical nor too mathematical. Students also learn how to compute each technique using SPSS software.

- Instructor ancillaries are now available with the sixth edition.
- All SPSS directions and screenshots have been updated to Version 23 of the software.
- Student learning objectives have been added as a means for students to target their learning and for instructors to focus their instruction.
- Key words are reviewed and reinforced in the end of chapter material to ensure that students understand the vocabulary of advanced and multivariate statistics.
