"The new edition's expanded use of applications makes this book ideal for advanced students and researchers in psychology, education, business, health care, political science, sociology, and biology. A basic understanding of correlation is assumed and an understanding of the mat…
An introduction to structural equation modeling, this text focuses on the conceptual steps taken in analyzing theoretical models. It reviews correlation and covariance, followed by multiple regression, path and factor analysis techniques. The goal is to enable the reader to cond…
As online information grows dramatically, search engines such as Google are playing a more and more important role in our lives. Critical to all search engines is the problem of designing an effective retrieval model that can rank documents accurately for a given query. This has…
