520    "Traditional approaches focused on significance tests have
       often been difficult for linguistics researchers to 
       visualize. Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research: A 
       new approach breaks these significance tests down for 
       researchers in corpus linguistics and linguistic analysis,
       promoting a visual approach to understanding the 
       performance of tests with real data, and demonstrating how
       to derive new intervals and tests. Software agnostic, this
       book discusses the "why" behind the statistical model, 
       allowing readers a greater facility for choosing their own
       methodologies. Accessibly written for those with little to
       no mathematical or statistical background, it explains the
       mathematical fundamentals of simple significance tests by 
       relating them to confidence intervals. With sample data 
       sets and easy-to-read visuals, this book focuses on 
       practical issues, such as how to: pose research questions 
       in terms of choice and constraint, employ confidence 
       intervals correctly (including in graph plots), select 
       optimal significance tests (and what results mean), 
       measure the size of the effect of one variable on another,
       estimate the similarity of distribution patterns, and 
       evaluate whether the results of two experiments 
       significantly differ. Appropriate for anyone from the 
       student just beginning their career to the seasoned 
       researcher, this book is both a practical overview and 
       valuable resource"--|cProvided by publisher
