New Book InformationReal Data AnalysisEdited by Shlomo S. Sawilowsky, Wayne State UniversityA volume in Quantitative Methods in Education and the Behavioral Sciences: Issues, Research, and TeachingSeries Editor Ron Serlin, University of Wisconsin

(sponsored by the Educational Statisticians, SIG)

The invited authors of this edited volume have been prolific in the arena of Real DataAnalysis (RDA) as it applies to the social and behavioral sciences, especially in the disciplines ofeducation and psychology. Combined, this brain trust represents 3,247 articles in refereed journals,127 books published, US $45.3 Million in extramural research funding, 34 teaching and 92research awards, serve(d) as Editor/Assistant Editor/Editorial Board Member for 95 peer reviewedjournals, and provide(d) ad hoc reviews for 362 journals.
