Single-case and small-n experimental designs

a practical guide to randomization tests, second edition

by Pat Dugard

Published 2011290 pagesISBN 978-0-4158-8693-2

"Randomization tests are not a new idea, but they only became really useful after the advent of fast computing. Making randomization tests accessible to many more potential users by providing the means to use them within familiar statistical software, this book serves as an introduction and provides macros to perform in the familiar environments of SPSS and Excel. Though we expect that the book will still appeal to researchers, we believe the changes in the new edition will make the book an essential aid for graduate and senior undergraduate courses in statistics, data analysis, and/or research methods, taught in departments of psychology (especially clinical or counseling psychology), medicine, nursing, and other health and social sciences"--

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Nonfiction, Mental Health. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Nonfiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?
  2. Which sources or lived experiences carry the author’s central argument?
  3. How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
