These workbooks explain how the concepts in the text are linked to the application software and show the student how to perform the analyses presented in each chapter. The program templates provided in the workbooks enable students to run their own analyses of the more than 100 data sets (most taken from real applications in the pub- lished literature) contained the CD-ROM that accompanies the text. Be able to interpret the results of the analysis. In each chapter, we raise the im- portant issues and problems that tend to come up with the application of each method. We place special emphasis on assessing the generalizability of the re- sults of an analysis, and suggest ways in which students can test the validity of their findings.
