520 _aIn this [book, the authors] have used the computational shortcuts that computers provide to give [them] more time to emphasize statistical reasoning as well as the understanding and interpretation of statistical results ... [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.
