SPSS Analysis 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 Windows - Analysis without Anguish (Paperback)

The new edition of this text is based on Versions 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 of SPSS for Windows. SPSS is being continually modified, but the steps of entering and analyzing data are very similar in these three versions. The major difference is in the presentation of the output. Thus, users of any of these versions will be able to work with this text, as will users of any earlier version of SPSS for Windows. Intended both as an introduction to the use of SPSS for Windows and as a guide for users wishing to conduct more complicated analytic procedures, this book guides readers through techniques and procedures using worked examples and practice examples to help them consolidate their skills. Solutions are provided to assist both students and lecturers, and assumption testing for each procedure is discussed at the beginning of every chapter. This text also examines the descriptive and analytical functions available in SPSS, such as the tables function, and techniques such as cluster analysis and multi-dimensional scaling that are used frequently in market research and business environments.
