Statistical Analysis in Public Administration

The latest text for statistical/quantitative analysis and research methods coursework, the Second Edition of Statistical Analysis for Public Administration explains how to use statistical methods to help understand and respond to public problems. Organized around a series of unique reference tables, this book simulates the problems public administrators routinely encounter and diagnose. The tables guide students through applicable statistical methods for solving problems, teaching both "what to do," and "how to do it." As a result, students will learn to recognize where quantitative methods are useful, and apply the skills needed to solve real-world problems during their professional careers in the public sector.
