    Synopsis

    Expanding the first edition by about a third, Vogt (Illinois State U.) presents some definitions statistical concepts and methodological terms used in the social and behavioral sciences, as well as related term from theory and philosophy. The entries are presented in nontechnical language containing no formulas. Elementary concepts are defined more fully than advanced concept and specialized terms in the interests of brevity but, according to Vogt, the cross-references should allow readers to work through unfamiliar terms in to reach understanding of the advanced material.

    Booknews

    Offers one-third more definitions than the first edition, including statistical and methodological terms, in plain English, used in the social and behavioral sciences. The approximately 2,000 definitions included are brief, and occasionally illustrated by examples, designed to allow readers to understand difficult articles, but not assist in research or statistical computation.
