Analysis of variance (ANOVA) constitutes the main set of statistical methods used by students and researchers to analyse data from experiments. This expertly written textbook adopts a pioneering approach to ANOVA with an emphasis on confidence intervals rather than tests of significance.

Key features of the book include: extensive coverage; strong emphasis upon practical examples; web-based links to sample questions and answers; student-focused throughout, it offers a comprehensive introduction to ANOVA using confidence intervals. The chapters have been organized to fit onto a typical lecture programme and is well-structured and practical, invaluable for undergraduates and postgraduate students taking courses in quantitative methods across the social sciences.
