Suggestions for Further Reading
Readers wishing to consult statistics and methodology texts to supplement
this dictionary have many works from which to choose.
Listed below are works that are very clearly written, and/or are widely
cited accounts, and/or are representative of some of the many disciplines
that use the methods defined in this dictionary.
Suggested books are grouped by level of difficulty. The more elementary
books in Group I are basic enough that most readers can read them without
help. Group II contains more advanced volumes that, while usually starting
with the basics, move quickly to more difficult topics and examine them in
greater depth. Group III lists other dictionaries and reference works that
contain methodological and statistical terms.
Special mention should be made of the Sage series Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences. Works in this
series introduce readers to advanced topics in short booklets. By focusing
on concepts rather than proofs and derivations, the booklets can cover
advanced topics without requiring of readers more than basic statistical
knowledge.
