'An Introductory Guide to SPSS for Windows' develops SPSS skills through the use of sample programs that illustrate how to conduct the analyses typically found in an introductory statistics course.

Making statistics—and statistical software—accessible and rewarding This book provides readers with step-by-step guidance on running a wide variety of statistical analyses in IBM® SPSS® Statistics, Stata, and other programs. Author David Kremelberg begins his user-friendly text by covering charts and graphs through regression, time-series analysis, and factor analysis. He provides a background of the method, then explains how to run these tests in IBM SPSS and Stata. He then progresses to more advanced kinds of statistics such as HLM and SEM, where he describes the tests and explains how to run these tests in their appropriate software including HLM and AMOS. This is an invaluable guide for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students across the social and behavioral sciences who need assistance in understanding the various statistical packages.

"This user's manual describes a longitudinal database designed to permit the storage, retrieval, and analyses of gunnery-related data generated with Army National Guard (ARNG) armored and mechanized infantry units. The database was developed as part of an assessment of the Simulation in Training for Advanced Readiness (SIMITAR) time-compressed gunnery training strategy, as implemented in a test ARNG armored brigade (Smith, in publication). It contains gunnery performance measures from this test brigade and from six other enhanced "comparison" brigades where the SIMITAR training strategy was not introduced. These measures were collected from 1993-1997 and include first-run and final, live-fire, Table VIII gunnery qualification scores, tank main gun ammunition expenditures, related measures/information needed for assessing the impact of different training strategy interventions, and space set aside for recording the outcomes of training aids, devices, simulators and simulations (TADSS) usage. The databases is configured within a software program known as the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, Version 6.1 for Windows). Its files can be exported in a number of formats, including spreadsheet and database management programs, as well as into a number of other statistical utilities. This user's manual will help ARNG database managers use the SIMITAR database as a convenient repository for gunnery performance and related information and as a resource for future gunner-related strategy inpact investigations."--P.i.

IBM SPSS Statistics Excellent Guide is an excellent illustrative point-by-point easy to use guide that guarantees everyone the revolutionary skills of data analysis with SPSS Statistics. What if you can personally analyze different sorts of research data accurately without a hand-held calculator? Yes, you can. Each user of the book can with all accuracy, perform data analysis expertly and lucidly interpret the output, even if it is his first day of utilizing SPSS. IBM SPSS Statistics is renowned as a most powerful and widely used software for data analysis in the social and behavioral sciences, particularly, and in other several different fields of endeavor. Currently, practical analytic skills with statistical software as demonstrated in this book are necessarily required to be a researcher or scientist. Peter James Kpolovie has provided a superb guide that thoroughly presents SPSS dialog boxes selection method and SPSS syntax method for myriads of introductory and advanced statistical techniques, including: Descriptive statistics Comparison of means with t Test techniques and Analysis of Variance models General Linear Models Univariate, Repeated measures and Mixed analysis Analysis of Covariance To accurately analyze large complex dataset collected for a given research, has consistently remained a major challenge to the investigator even before the actual problem that he has set out to investigate. Kpolovie has superbly eliminated such challenge as every user can with most exceptional ease, follow the complete procedural steps, famously illustrated in the book, to personally analyze various sorts of data impeccably.
