5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant walkthrough of the issues concerning this topic, 8 May 2002
This review is from: Applying Regression and Correlation: A Guide for Students and Researchers (Paperback)
Somewhat sceptical at first having read reviews about other book that claim the text does not require a high level of understanding of mathamatics I was pleasantly surprised to find that the claims of the authors in their review were right. The text relies on logical explanations rather than mathematical formulae to get a point across and in so doing makes the book easy to follow and understandable for someone like me who does not have a great love of mathematics.

I found the book easy to read, progressed logically and was well supported by diagrams and charts. I also found the explanations about the SPSS computer print-outs invaluable. Perhaps it’s just me but I get the feeling that there is a conspiracy out there. The people at SPSS produce a statistical package that will do just about anything, but you need to be a rocket scientist to follow the manuals that are provided with it or to understand the print out for the test. Then here comes a book that can explain it so well you wonder why you didn’t understand it before, why couldn’t the chaps at SPSS get it right in the first place, surely they know who uses their program and they are not all statistics experts or do they get a cut from all the authors that gain employment writing books telling us how to use the program and understand it.

Ok, so rant aside what do I think? I’ve read lots of books in this area trying to get my head around this topic. I wish I hadn’t bothered; this is the only book that I needed to have read, it explained everything. As Ron Weasley said in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, although I’m not too sure he was talking about this book, its “Bloody Brilliant!”

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the tin - very well too!, 26 Sep 2006
By Dr. M. Elliott (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Applying Regression and Correlation: A Guide for Students and Researchers (Paperback)
Whilst I am comfortable with maths I don't miss it when it's not there and this book covers the topics of regression and correlation superbly with almost no maths. The authors explain the underlying concepts and practical aspects so you come away with a good understanding of the subject AND (importantly) the ability to apply it in practice. They go on to deal with slightly more advanced aspects (e.g. hierarchical variable entry) and still succeed in keeping it comprehensible. I am impressed and now refer back to the book often when doing stats analysis.
