DESCRIPTION:
"A comment from the Author" according to Darren M. George. Paul Mallery (my co-author) and I have gone to excruciating efforts, particularly on the first 16 chapters of this book, to create a tool that makes SPSS absolutely clear to the beginner. In the final 12 chapters our book explores more complex statistical procedures (log-linear models, factor analysis, discriminant analysis, multi-dimensional scaling, and others) in the identical format as the earlier chapters.. By far the best beginner's SPSS reference If you are as clueless about SPSS as I am, you must buy this book. It has clear, concise instructions in language a layman can understand. If you want a more advanced manual because you already know the basics, you may want to look elsewhere (Tabachnik & Fidel's book would be the next step up from this one). This would be a great textbook for a Statistics course at either the undergrad or graduate levels. It al. "Great Book for dissertation reference! SPSS for Windows" according to Terri. I am a grad student working on my dissertation. I searched everywhere for an excellent and simple SPSS book. I was lost until I found yours. I have some of the others listed in the category; they are missing the step by step examples. I knew what I wanted to do, but did not know how to put into SPSS. They examples are CLEAR. There is even information about the statistics, so if you are unsure about assumptions
This book is designed to simplify the process of data analysis using SPSS. The clarity of this book is established by extensive use of screen shots (more than 200), clear writing, and step-by-step boxes (more than 500) that show how to accomplish any procedure one step at a time. Students, even novices, can independently learn from this comprehensive and straightforward treatment.
