"The strengths of the texts include the explanation of the different types of designs that are appropriate for ANOVA techniques. Description of the summary tables is well done, and the authors provide a good explanation of the differences between 'within subjects' and 'between subjects' designs and how these differences translate into more powerful designs when using repeated measures." -- Jon L. Proctor "The book does a great job of covering the necessary information and leaving the student with an understanding of not only what they are doing but what it all means. I would use it in my classes and I would recommend it to colleagues as a professional book if they are not well-versed in ANOVA." -- Catherine H. Renner
