Dear Professionals and eminent Professors

Recently, I participated in an international conference (webinar) for presenting my paper on positive psychology research. I could see other participants could showcase their statistics knowledge in form of tables, which made me ashamed and also curious to learn these. So far the books I read only consisted of descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Non- Parametric tests. Utmost I can see quasi experimental designs.

But I could see in those presentations normality testing, time series designing tables, bootstrapping.

I want a book which could elaboratively explain how to conduct research, what kind of statistics to be employed with specific criteria.

So far I collected so many research methodology books and studied them but could not find the above.

Recently participated in factor analysis webinar which is a disappointment. I need a clear book to learn these all. Through self-study of a book I learnt manual way of computing factor loading.

Some of the research papers have confidence interval tables. Now when to use confidence intervals in tables and why do we use SE , Beta values in tables, all these if a particular text book or series of books can explain. Kindly suggest. I don't know professors at my end who could help me in this. I am only searching net with no goal. Hence as a last resort, I seek your help.

Finally I accept my infancy state of knowledge in Research and seek your pardon for this lengthy message.

Regards

Deepthi
