Product Description
The latest edition of this best-selling introduction to Quantitative Data Analysis through the use of a computer package has been completely updated to accommodate the needs of users of SPSS Release 8 for Windows. Like its predecessor, it provides a non-technical approach to quantitative data analysis and a user-friendly introduction to the widely used SPSS for Windows. It assumes no previous familiarity with either statistics or computing but takes the reader step-by-step through the techniques, reinforced by exercises for further practice. Techniques explained include: correlation, simple and multiple regression, multivariate analysis of variance and covariance, and factor analysis. The book also covers issues such as sampling, statistical significance, conceptualization and measurement and the selection of appropriate tests.

 Quantitative Data Analysis With Spss Release 8 for Windows : October 25, 2000
FRANCIS JOSE (Madras. India)

Terrefic introduction to SPSS. The fine print is value laden, specially for the hungry social scientist eager to see some meaning in his chaotic data. I read the book ear to ear and it taught me professionalism in the big big word of using computer technology through SPSS. The chapters particularly on creating new variables,Multivariate analysis and, Factor Analysis reduced a lot of my fears and apprehensions about Statistics in general. In fact the book has developed a new thirst in me to learn more. I'm truly indebted to the authors for a classic.
 Excellent Introduction to SPSS April 12, 2001

I am a doctoral student who is currently working on two research projects. I found this book to be an excellent source for understanding the principals of quantitative research, and the application to SPSS. In the first section of the book Cramer sets up a study, and it is used in successive chapters in order to explain the various tests which can be run in SPSS. I have another Cramer book and find his writing to be clear and understandable, even with difficult concepts. The overarching problem with this book is it explains release 8. SPSS 10 is what is current and there is a huge difference between these two products. I have found this problematic on the application of SPSS, however, I gained a great deal in understanding SPSS testing and statistical concepts.
