Review :
"This text not only helps the user to quickly navigate SPSS, but also provides critical aspects of each of the tests… I do not think that there is a better text for SPSS users who are looking for a quick introduction and succinct guidance." "All in all, [this text] will become an indispensable tool for anyone that seeks to use statistical procedures to analyze data and to report the same effectively." "[This text is] very readable and comprehensible for intermediate level students."
