Aitken Michael: Statistics for the
Behavioral Sciences

Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences

Becoming an Agent-Based Modeller covers the theory and practice of agent-based modelling (ABM) from a novice to intermediate level. Structured to mirror a course, the book takes readers through the full development of an agent-based model, from research question, conceptualisation and design of the model, through to what to do when your model is finished.The book offers a theoretical overview of the epistemology and methodology of agent-based modelling as well as integration with other methods such as participatory approaches. The core, practical part of the book is an extended tutorial, demonstrating how to build an empirical agent-based model from scratch and use it in research. Using NetLogo as the programming language, the tutorial model concerns protective health behaviour in response to an epidemic. This incorporates all the key features of agent-based modelling: personal attitudes, the influence of social norms, and the spatial environment (in the form of local epidemic risk). The tutorial is organised by the practice of agent-based modelling project, and includes the conceptualisation stage, the operationalisation and implementation, experimentation and interpretation. The book also outlines how the ABM model can be applied to other contexts and social applications.With pedagogical tools including key discussion points, illustrations, and highlighted concepts, this is an ideal resource for courses on ABM, and for postgraduate students, and researchers in the social sciences and beyond, who wish to develop their skills in relation to agent-based modelling.

Meta-analysis Using R

One of the greatest changes in sports in the past 25 years has been the use of mathematical methods to analyze performances, recognize trends and patterns, and predict results. Analytic Methods in Sports: Using Mathematics and Statistics to Understand Data from Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Other Sports, Third Edition, provides a concise, yet thorough, introduction to the analytic and statistical methods that are useful in studying sports.Features ¿ New to the third edition is a chapter on applying mathematical and statistical methods to the analysis of daily fantasy sports¿ Covers numerous statistical procedures for analyzing data based on sports results¿ Presents fundamental methods for describing and summarizing data¿ Describes aspects of probability theory and basic statistical concepts that are necessary to understand and deal with the randomness inherent in sports data¿ Explains the statistical reasoning underlying the methods¿ Discusses several more advanced methods, including logistic regression models, random forests, regression models with random effects, spline methods, principal components analysis, multidimensional scaling, quantile regression, and more¿ Illustrates the methods using real data drawn from a wide variety of sports¿ Offers many of the data sets on the author's website, enabling you to replicate the analyses or conduct related analyses¿ R code is included for all calculations¿ Exercises are given for each chapter, to enable use for courses and self-study This popular textbook is primarily designed to be used to teach an introductory course on statistics to undergraduate students using sports examples. Its practical focus on application rather than theory ensures students develop immediately applicable skills for the rapidly expanding field of sports analytics. It is a perfect reference for readers comfortable with mathematics seeking to enter the growing field of sports analytics without prior statistical training. Its concise yet thorough approach makes it equally suitable for self-study by sports enthusiasts, coaches, and industry professionals looking to leverage the power of data-driven decision making in competitive environments.

Proposing Empirical Research: A Guide to the Fundamentals (Seventh Edition) provides clear, step-by-step guidance for students preparing to write their first research proposal in the social and behavioral sciences, using either quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods approaches.The book is structured to support independent work, enabling students to move confidently through the early stages of proposal writing. Each major section is divided into concise topics, each accompanied by a hands-on exercise that leads students toward the ultimate goal of drafting a full proposal. Throughout the book, numerous illustrative examples help bring core concepts to life. In addition, ten model proposals at the end of the book provide concrete examples for reference and facilitate meaningful classroom discussion.New to the Seventh Edition:<ul> <li>Expanded coverage of digital tools and research technologies, including online survey platforms, AI-assisted tools, digital databases, and remote recruitment strategies.</li> <li>Ten completely updated model proposals that reflect a broader range of contemporary research topics, methodologies, and student interests.</li> <li>Revised and refined chapter exercises to more effectively guide students through the proposal development process.</li> <li>Stronger emphasis on ethical considerations and inclusive research practices, including demographic sensitivity and community-engaged methods.</li> <li>Integrated discussion of AI in the research process, from brainstorming to proposal drafting, with practical guidance on responsible use.</li> <li>Comprehensive updates to examples, references, and resources to reflect current scholarship and best practices in the field.</li> <li>A complete revision of the text to enhance clarity, improve flow, and ensure greater usability for both individual learners and classroom settings.</li> </ul>Proposing Empirical Research is ideal for use in research methods classes where students write a proposal as a term project, thesis/dissertation preparation classes, senior research seminars where proposing and conducting research is a culminating undergraduate activity, and any graduate-level seminar in which the instructor wants to incorporate a project that will engage students in critical thinking about the content area.
