  • I have had the misfortune of having used this book and the previous edition for two statistics courses. Although the step by step sections are actually as well as they could be written, I find the explanations of the statistics behind the procedures are just unreadable. The quote below is a good example of how not to try to explain something to a novice statistics student:

    “In effect, this procedure is equivalent to substituting the mean of the nonmissing ratings for the missing rating and summing the three nonmissing ratings and the substituted value for the missing rating.”

    This was a required text for me, so I had no choice in the matter. If you are thinking about buying this book for your own education, look elsewhere.

  • This book basically goes through what the options are under file, edit, view, etc. The help menu in the program would suffice for this. It also does not go through enough examples of when you would use the options.

  • I have been struggling with learning SPSS using a text recommended by a professor. I was given the suggestion to try this by another colleague. I found the detailed information to be just what I needed. I would recommend it to others!
