Summary

Summary

This book is designed to simplify the process of data analysis using SPSS. The clarity of this book is established by extensive use of screen shots (more than 200), clear writing, and step-by-step boxes (more than 500) that show how to accomplish any procedure one step at a time. Students, even novices, can independently learn from this comprehensive and straightforward treatment.
