Preface

This book is an introduction to quantitative research in the scientific and health disciplines. The whole research process is introduced, from asking a research question to analysis and reporting of the data. The focus, however, is on the analysis of data.

This book was originally prepared for use with the course SCI110 Science Research Methods¹ at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC).
