[Samuel B. Green ,Neil J. Salkind]Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh(pdf){Zzzzz}

Present statistical techniques and conduct statistical analyses.



Using SPSS guides students through the most basic of SPSS techniques using step-by-step descriptions and explains in detail how to avoid all the obstacles common in the study of statistics.



The development of easy-to-use statistical software like SPSS has changed the way statistics is being taught and learned. Students can make transformations of variables, create graphs of distributions of variables, and select among statistical analyses all at the click of a button. However, even with these advancements, students sometimes still find statistics to be an arduous task. They continue to be faced with many potential obstacles and they might feel overwhelmed and stressed rather than challenged and excited about the potential for mastering these important skills. Samuel Green and Neil Salkind have written a text to specifically address these issues.

Love, love, love this book! I used it for a grad stats class several years ago (the 6th edition) and am now using it as I complete my dissertation. It has helped immensely in analyzing and interpretting output. I (seriously) would be lost if it wasn't for this reference!
