Recensies
Advising on research methods: A consultant's companion - Peter Wludyka - The American Statistician - 29-11-2009
This is an interesting, useful, and somewhat unusual book.
In its narrowest use, the book can serve as a text for teaching an
advanced untergraduate or graduate course in statistical consulting,
in which the point of view is that of someone advising the consultant.
It is a text that I would consider using the next time I teach
statistical consulting, even though I typically focus mostly on
practice.
.....
.....
Because statistical consulting courses are typically taught with a
focus on practice, this book might supplement hands-on work, with
the proviso that students would use standard methods texts for
technical details (a suggestion offered by the authors).
.....
.....
I am fond of the book's opening sentence reminding the reader that
a consultant should be ``available, affable, and able,'' in
decreasing order of importance.
The authors have produced a useful book that someone in the early
stages of a consulting career should find especially helpful and
easy to use.
Advising on Research Methods: A consultant's Companion - Yves Laberge - Journal of Applied Statistics - 09-03-2011
A hard-to-find textbook, Advising on Research Methods: A Consultant’s Companion is one of the most impressive books on methodology I have
read in recent years. Filled with practical, efficient strategies,
it is made to help consultants in their daily exercise in order to
find ‘what does the client want to know and how to investigate?’.
It is presented by the publisher as aiming to assist researchers
‘in the social and behavioral sciences, including . . . medicine and epidemiology’ (see back cover).
.....
.....
This book could be used in at least two ways: either for real
consultants who already have some advanced knowledge in quantitative methodology, or in the university classroom for courses and
seminars in research methods, since exercises and even
‘topics for classroom discussion’ are provided (p. 67).
Herman Adèr, Don Mellenbergh and David Hand have made a tremendous
job, even though they leave many questions unanswered in their book
(although they provide the publisher’s e-mail address if readers
need some specific answers to some of the exercises;
see remark, p. 17).
