Very Practical

This is a great book for individuals wanting to learn more about SPSS and statistics in general. The chapters are fairly straightforward although the final two chapters dealing with factor analysis and cluster analysis are very demanding. It was nice to be able to download data sets from the internet and work through the problems. The book uses SPSS Version 11.0 and I had version 12.0. (I think 13.0 has been released.) There were some important differences between 11 and 12, notably with creation of graphs and other graphical displays of the data. SPSS is widely used for analyzing social and behavioral sciences data, but I am using it for medical data and have found it to meet almost all of my needs.

SPSS. Powerful, user-friendly, and useful, particularly in psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and other social sciences. But to fully exploit its capabilities and effectively execute its wide range of procedures, users need detailed, to-the-point guidance that other resources lack. A Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using SPSS clearly and concisely describes how to conduct univariate and multivariate statistical analyses using the latest release of SPSS, version 11. Each chapter addresses a different type of analytical procedure and applies it to real data sets, primarily, though not exclusively, from the social and behavioral sciences. The authors briefly review the theoretical background of many of the techniques, but they set that material apart in boxes so that the presentation of the various analyses proceeds without interruption. Each chapter ends with exercises, some related to the data sets introduced in that chapter, others introducing additional data sets. These data sets and answers to most of the exercises are available for download at www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/iop/departments/BioComp/SPSSBook.shtml. If you're a relative newcomer to performing statistical analyses, a new user of SPSS, or a veteran on both fronts, A Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using SPSS will be a welcome addition to your library. Researchers and students alike will find this a convenient, self-contained route to using SPSS for effective data analysis.
