Review: Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences

User Review  - Thomas - Goodreads

I agree with Cohen that a possible reason for the continued neglect of statistical power analysis in research in the behavioral sciences is the inaccessibility of or difficulty with the standard material. This book offers a convenient presentation of required sample sizes.
