A Unified Framework for Introductory Statistics

The topics usually covered in introductory statistics courses in the social sciences can be taught from a single statistical framework: The linear regression model. T-tests, correlation, analysis of variance, regression analysis, cross-classification analysis of ordinal variables, and many nonparametric statistics can be conducted using linear regression to standardize concepts and notation across these topics that are conventionally treated as distinct types of statistics. This framework organizes Statistical Analysis in the Social Sciences by McKee J. McClendon, an introductory statistics text for upper-level undergraduates in the social sciences.
