An excellent textbook. As with most any textbook, one of the downfalls is the fact that half of the answers are missing from the end of the book. Overall it was very easy to follow and explained different methods rather well. However, the beginning of the ANOVA analysis skipped several crucial steps that I guess they assume the students know the middle steps but we definitely didn't.
