4.0 out of 5 stars teaches statistics and SPSS 10 July 2006
By W Boudville - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In the humanities and social sciences, SPSS is probably the most heavily used statistical package. Norusis helps you understand why. Even if you do not have a strong background in statistics. The book teaches both statistics and the use of SPSS to analyse your statistical data.

The text starts off with the most basic material, like showing a simple frequency table. Or displaying it visually using a pie chart or a bar chart. Then, when there are too many values for a bar chart, you can use a histogram, which has bins, each representing a range of values of the independent variable. SPSS has the ability to quickly display in these formats.

Then the text progressively takes you into analysis. Starting with the computation of mean, median and variances. Later, when there are several independent variables, other graphing formats like scatterplots come into play. But the more challenging sections involve testing hypothesis. From these come the use of chi square tests, Student's T-distribution, nonparametric tests and so on.

If you make it through the book, you get an impressive self taught education in statistics and SPSS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for learning to do SPSS software and/or to learn/understand statistics 20 Sep 2007
By Mark Jacobson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have used this book (previous editions) in teaching a graduate level research methods and statistical software class in the late 1990s. It is the best book available for anyone who needs to use SPSS or who needs to know how to organize data, interpret statistical output and understand the process of quantitative research. I now teach short courses and do statistical consulting for faculty, staff and students at a university. Whenever anyone asks what I recommend if they want to get SPSS and/or statistical thinking, its a no brainer. This book is hands-down the best for either or both of those goals.
4.0 out of 5 stars Author is consistently good 24 July 2011
By Keith McCormick - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
When I am approached by a brand new SPSS user - often a college student or new hire - I recommend these book. It starts with the very basics of the software as well as basic statistics. I don't see the harm in using it to learn SPSS even if you have mastered the theory because if you were to click on every instruction with the mouse, you would learn a lot. If you don't know the theory, it is even more helpful. Median and mean, exploring data, and basic inferential statistics are all covered. Not comprehensive treatment of every subject for sure, but perhaps the very best place to start for the novice. As an added bonus, it comes with data so that you can really explore the exercises. This is a better choice that buying a user's guide if you don't have that already. It is also a better choice than here Statistical Procedures Companion, if you are new to SPSS.

Note on version: I placed this on the version 14.0 page because it is the last copy that I bought. They are updated every year. For this title I would recommend getting the most recent version. However, for the more advanced titles in the three book series, you might be able to save some money by being one version out of date. Look at the table of contents carefully to make your decision. You might not own the module that is being described in the updated chapter. In the case of this book, it describes base features that all user have - best to get the latest.
