Biographical note: Stefan Th. Gries, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.
This book is the revised and extended second edition of Statistics for Linguistics with R. The comprehensive revision includes new small sections on programming topics that facilitate statistical analysis, the addition of a variety of statistical functions readers can apply to their own data, and a revision of overview sections on statistical tests and regression modeling. The main revision is a complete rewrite of the chapter on multifactorial approaches, which now contains sections on linear regression, binary and ordinal logistic regression, multinomial and Poisson regression, and repeated-measures ANOVA.The revisions are completed by a new visual tool to identify the right statistical test for a given problem and data set.
Review text: "Gries has diligently compiled a work of great use and interest. It is relevant above all to linguistic students and researchers, and can readily act as a textbook for taught courses. It should be noted that the book is equally useful as a reference guide, with the analysis scenarios sufficiently well labeled and organized so that the reader can dip into it as and when necessary, or as a complete set of exercises which the reader can work through section by section."
