Written by a renowned psychologist Roger E. Kirk of Baylor University, this classic text provides the graduate student in experimental design with detailed coverage of the designs and techniques with the greatest potential use in behavioral research. Kirk's book is known for its emphasis on the logical rather than the mathematical basis of experimental design; for its in-depth exploration of the relationship between analysis of variance and regression analysis; for its introduction of the concept of building block designs; and for its comprehensive scope that describes all of the ANOVA experimental designs that are potentially useful in the behavioral sciences and education.

A classic text that provides detailed coverage of the designs and techniques with the greatest potential use in behavioral research, medical research, and education. Changes in this edition (second was 1982) include a greater coverage of measures of practical significance, determination of sample size and power, the cell means model, and procedures for controlling nuisance variables. Intended for the course entitled Experimental Design, Advanced Stats, or Analysis of Variance, usually a senior or beginning grad level course in psychology and behavioral sciences. Annotation c.
