Excellent Introduction to Statistical Analysis Using SPSS March 8, 2008
Edward Torpy (Chicago, IL USA)
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Marija Norusis is a great writer who can clearly articulate complex statistical concepts that the average person can understand. Her writing style is very conversational without sacrificing technical accuracy. Although this book is designed to be used as an introductory statistics book in a college course, it also serves as an excellent SPSS user's guide. The author describes the logic of hypothesis testing, the concept of "statistical significance", and the general concepts behind data analysis that the new data analyst can easily understand.
