One of the best books on Statistics, easy to understand regardless of level of study, includes basic and more advances statistics.
Great explanations and examples. Easy to follow format. Very good for referencing too.
For our master’s program, we have decided to adopt *Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics (6th Edition)* as one of the essential textbooks. This book offers comprehensive, in-depth coverage of statistical techniques and demonstrates how to implement them in IBM SPSS. Its clear explanations, step-by-step examples, and engaging writing style make complex methods more accessible to students who are developing their data analysis skills.
Too difficult language for my students.
Clear and structured content - key for students wanting to explore statistics using SPSS.
This is surely the most comprehensive SPSS offering on the market, and it offers delivery in an entertaining way which means that it offers a unique and valuable reading experience that cannot be obtained via new competing methods including AI.
I think this book also ties in well with 'An Adventure in Statistics' by the same author, which offers a more thorough discussion of the basics, again with the same engaging style, but without the need for any statistics software.
SPSS step by step procedures.
Used a previous version, great text.
After many years doing research and teaching on research methods, even if the examples in the book are not just in the field of health sciences, I have finally found a book that contains both theoretical details of statistics along with how to practically perform tests on SPSS. Something that attracted my attention was the use of colourful images and figures and even the colourful text. This book really recommended to anyone who is going to work with SPSS and also understand why and how to use it. Thanks to the author!
Lovely text with illustrations to aid those who are using statistics in their research project. I would recommend this as it is a visually friendly text with plenty of examples. Each chapter begins with "what will this chapter tell me" to give a quick summary of what will be covered. There are also self-tests at the end of each chapter to test knowledge.
I didn't receive the book
Summarizing: - The chapters do not follow the usual sequence from simpler to more complex in Statistics textbooks. - Most chapters dedicate very little to explain how to use SPSS for each type of problem, from the data entry to the interpretation of results. - The attempt to use colloquial conversation for explanations is more a distraction than a facilitator of understanding. -The use of some cartoon-like images through the chapters is distracting; it does not add to the comprehension of concepts.
Just the best introductory stats text book. Comprehensive and easy to read for non-quantitatively-minded students
Best book for biostatistics on a MSc level available. This rework is again a step up, while the level was already so good. We don't have a 'mandatory book' list anymore, otherwise it would be on it. We have it on the reading list with strong references to the chapters within our study manual as well.
Great textbook, very student friendly, highly recommended
Used a previous version. Great book for both beginners and experienced users in explaining step-by-step how to analyse quantitative data using SPSS. Highly recommend this book.
