Enabling a basic understanding of how to use key multivariate methods in the social sciences, this updated edition contains three new chapters on regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models, and multilevel models. It presents many examples of real-world applications, including voting preferences, social attitudes, educational test scores, and recidivism; covers methods that summarize, describe, and explore multivariate data sets; and establishes a unified approach to latent variable modeling. Full versions of all the data sets in the text, software for performing latent variable analyses, and instructions for implementing the analyses are available on the book’s website.

PRESCRIPCION CONOCIMIENTO.

The reported increase in the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria serves to emphasize the importance of accurate susceptibility testing.  This timely guide examines the role of the clinical microbiology lab in integrated patient care. The first section addresses basic susceptibility disciplines such as macro and microbroth dilution, agar dilution, and disk diffusion. The second section considers specialized susceptibility protocols that may be performed by a subset of labs, and emphasizes reproducible results. The third section covers antibiotic development and discusses antibiogram design and use. It includes extensive references and a table of antibiotic classes and common bug-drug susceptibilities.
