Xiaofeng Steven Liu is an Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina.
"This book extends earlier landmark texts by adding sample-size
estimation for multilevel and longitudinal designs, meta-analysis,
and structural-equation modeling. It is written thoughtfully and
understandably. Readers will benefit enormously from the inclusion
of computer code (in R, SAS and SPSS) for conducting the power
analyses described. I recommend the book very highly to any
researcher who wants to design research in the social sciences." -
John B. Willett, Harvard University, USA"The author skillfully
blends simple explanations of core concepts with more advanced
material in a way that will make the work attractive to a range of
readers in psychology and related disciplines. This text will be
useful for postgraduate quantitative methods courses and for
researchers. The coverage - from t tests through to multilevel
models and SEM - is impressive. I found the examples of R, SPSS,
and SAS code invaluable." - Thom Baguley, Nottingham Trent
University, UK
"This is a long-awaited, comprehensive book on power analysis after
Cohen’s (1988) seminal book. The updated content accompanied by
sample computer code is well suited for quantitative researchers in
the social and behavioral sciences." - Wei Pan, Duke University,
USA"This book provides a more comprehensive treatment of power
analysis than any other work. ... This is likely to be the "go to"
book for more complex designs. ... I found the writing style clear.
... The primary audience for this book would be all investigators
who seek external funding for their work." - Warren W. Tryon,
Fordham University, USA"This book would be good for departments of
psychology, sociology, social work, nursing and public health. Most
of the PhD programs in these departments have an advanced research
methods course that could use this book. ... The Cohen book has
been the standard in the field for over 20 years. ... This book
would make a very nice update on a classic." - Jay Maddock,
University of Hawaii, USA"This book is] a valuable extension beyond
what is currently provided by other books on power. This book would
contribute significantly to the field, most notably by covering the
advanced and more complex techniques. …Liu and his work are well
known in this field.…[This] book…could serve as the primary text
for a …course on power. ...This book would basically have the field
to itself." – Geoff Cumming, La Trobe University, Australia
