How to Use SPSS (R)

How to Use SPSS(R) is designed with the novice computer user in mind and for people who have no previous experience of using SPSS.

It covers all major statistical techniques typically taught in beginning statistics classes, such as descriptive statistics, graphing data, prediction and association, parametric inferential statistics, nonparametric inferential statistics and statistics for test construction.

More than 250 screenshots (including sample output) throughout the book show students exactly what to expect as they follow along using SPSS.
