Andy Field (academic)

Andy Field (born 21 June 1973) is an English academic currently serving as Professor of Quantitative Methods at the University of Sussex. Field is noted as the author of several textbooks about statistics, which typically deal with software application of statistical theory in SPSS and the R programming language. His books are characterised by an irreverent, sometimes outrageous, writing style that is atypical of academic texts. His student-friendly approach to writing led to The Times Higher Education Supplement dubbing him 'the Harry Potter of the social sciences'.
