[The authors have attempted] to explain not only how to apply statistical procedures, but also to explain: how to meaningfully describe real sets of data; what the results of statistical tests mean in terms of their practical applications; how to evaluate the validity of the assumptions behind statistical tests; [and] what to do when statistical assumptions have been violated.-Pref.
