Book Reviews of Statistical Power Analysis: A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests, Third Edition
Book Review: Interesting... but needs a better edit
Summary: 3 Stars
The book presents a very interesting method: reducing power analysis to the F distribution. The authors provide very compelling and convincing arguments for the use of power analysis. At times you feel as if their arguments are not well referenced or backed-up, however, especially if you have read a number of technically-oriented statistical texts. Nevertheless, the arguments are provided a good intuitive feel.
The one problem with the book is its editing, or lack thereof. For example, on page 49 the following appears: "If you set a more stringent alpha (e.g., a = .01) is set,..". The sentence was clearly edited, but the edited-out part was left in. This happens in multiple places. Also, on page 41, the (non)-word "irged" is used instead of "urged." All of this should have been caught and fixed prior to publication and prior to asking for $22.50 for the book. I can understand a few errors making it into the final printed edition, but this bordered on ridiculous. I would say that the editorial errors actually became a distraction and took away from the central theme of the book.
