Let's step back to the year 1978. Sony introduces hip portable music with the Walkman Illinois Bell Company releases the first mobile phone Space Invaders kicks off the video game craze & William Kent writes this book. We have made amazing progress in the last four decades in terms of portable music mobile communication & entertainment making devices such as the original Sony Walkman & suitcase-sized mobile phones museum pieces today. Yet remarkably the book Data & Reality is just as relevant to the field of data management today as it was in 1978. This book gracefully weaves the disciplines of psychology & philosophy with data management to create timeless takeaways on how we perceive & manage information. Although databases & related technology have come a long way since 1978 the process of eliciting business requirements & how we think about information remains constant. This book will provide valuable insights whether you are a 1970s data-processing expert or a modern-day business analyst data modeller database administrator or data architect. This 3rd edition differs substantially from the first & second editions. Data modelling thought leader Steve Hoberman has updated many of the original examples & references & added his commentary throughout the book including key points at the end of each chapter. The important takeaways in this book are rich with insight yet presented in a conversational & easy-to-grasp writing style. Here are just a few of the issues this book tackles: Has business intelligence" replaced "artificial intelligence"? Why is a maps geographic landscape analogous to a data models information landscape? Where do forward & reverse engineering fit in our thought process? Why are we all becoming "data archaeologists"? What causes the communication chasm between the business professional & the information technology professional in most organisations & how can the logical data model help bridge this chasm? Why do we invest in hardware & software to solve business problems before determining what the business problems are in the first place? What is the difference between oneness sameness & categories? Why does context play a role in every design decision? Why do the more important attributes become entities or relationships? Why do symbols speak louder than words? Whats the difference between a data modeller a philosopher & an artist? Why is the 1975 dream of mapping all attributes still a dream today? What influence does language have on our perception of reality? Can we distinguish between naming & describing?" ...

This completely rewritten classic text features many new examples insights & topics including mediational categorical & multilevel models. Substantially reorganized this edition provides a briefer more streamlined examination of data analysis. Noted for its model-comparison approach & unified framework based on the general linear model the book provides readers with a greater understanding of a variety of statistical procedures. This consistent framework including consistent vocabulary & notation is used throughout to develop fewer but more powerful model building techniques. The authors show how all analysis of variance & multiple regression can be accomplished within this framework. The model-comparison approach provides several benefits such as it: strengthens the intuitive understanding of the material thereby increasing the ability to successfully analyze data in the future; provides more control in the analysis of data so that readers can apply the techniques to a broader spectrum of questions; reduces the number of statistical techniques that must be memorized; & teaches readers how to become data analysts instead of statisticians. The book opens with an overview of data analysis. All the necessary concepts for statistical inference used throughout the book are introduced in Chapters 2 through 4. The remainder of the book builds on these models. Chapters 5
- 7 focus on regression analysis followed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) mediational analyses non-independent or correlated errors including multilevel modeling & outliers & error violations. The book is appreciated by all for its detailed treatment of ANOVA multiple regression nonindependent observations interactive & nonlinear models of data & its guidance for treating outliers & other problematic aspects of data analysis. Intended for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on data analysis statistics and/or quantitative methods taught in psychology education or other behavioral & social science departments this book also appeals to researchers who analyze data. With this book a protected website featuring additional examples & problems with data sets lecture notes Power Point presentations & class-tested exam questions is available to adopters. This material uses SAS but can easily be adapted to other programs. In this book a working knowledge of basic algebra & any multiple regression program is assumed.
