内容提要 Thiook demonstrates the contributionthat statistics can and should make to linguistic studies.The rangeof work to which statistical analysis is applicable isvast:including,for example,language acquisition,language variationand many aspects of applied linguistics,The aubhors give a widevariety of linguixtic examples to demonstrate the use of statisticsin summarising data in the most appropriate way,and then makinghelpful inferences form the processed information. Students and resesarchers in manyfields of linguistics will find thiook an invaluableintroduction to the use of statistics,and a practical text tor thedevelopment of skils in the application of statistics. 目录 Preface by Halliday王宗炎序导读Preface1 Why do linguists need statistics?2 Tables and graphs2.1 Categorical data2.2 Numerical data2.3 Multi-Way tables2.4 Special casesSummaryExercises3 Summary measures3.1 The media3.2 The arithmetic mea3.3 The mean and the median compared3.4 Means of proportions and percentages3.5 Variability or dispersio3.6 Central intervals3.7 The variance and the standard deviatio3.8 Standardising test scoresSummaryExercises4 Statistical inference4.1 The problem4.2 Populations4.3 The theoretical solutio4.4 The pragmatic solutioSummaryExercises……5 Probability6 Modeling statistical populations7 Estimating form samples8 Testing hypotheses about population values9 Testing the fit of models to data10 Measuring the degree of interdependence betwee11 Testing for differences between two populations12 Analysis of variance-ANOVA13 Linear regressio14 Searching for groups and clusters15 Princial components analysis and factor andlysis 作者介绍
