Now updated for SPSS® Statistics Version 18, DOING DATA ANALYSIS WITH SPSS, 5e, is an excellent supplement to any introductory statistics course. It provides a practical and useful introduction to SPSS and enables students to work independently to learn helpful software skills outside of class. By using SPSS to handle complex computations, students can focus on and gain an understanding of the underlying statistical concepts and techniques in the introductory statistics course.

  • Retains the pedagogy and datasets that have become staples of past editions.
  • The authors present SPSS as a powerful software package with the capability to make complex computations quickly and accurately.
  • Each session addresses a statistical issue and how to approach it with SPSS, rather than highlighting a particular feature of the software, ensuring that students are trained for practical, realistic applications of the statistical methods.
  • As each session teaches the pertinent techniques, it interweaves into the text thought-provoking questions and challenges that illustrate the relevance of statistical reasoning.
  • Nearly all of the datasets in the book are real and come from interesting scenarios reflecting the full variety of disciplines that students are studying.
  • This text is fully updated for IBM® SPSS® Statistics Version 18, covering all of the new capabilities of the latest release.
