Download or read book Psychological Statistics Using SPSS for Windows written by Robert C. Gardner and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique text on psychological statistics 1) provides the general rationale underlying many statistical procedures commonly used in psychology, 2) covers a wide range of topics--from the logic of statistical inference to multivariate analysis of variance, and 3) gives simple step-by-step instructions on how to access the relevant SPSS program. Each chapter presents a different procedure (e.g., t-tests, factor analysis, etc.), and briefly describes the basic concepts, purpose, and history necessary to understanding its strengths and limitations. A concrete example is used for each procedure, with the discussion of the SPSS output being directly linked to the underlying statistical model, so that readers can see how the interpretation of results follows from the nature of that procedure. Chapter topics include statistics, computers, and statistical packages; the t-test; single factor analysis of variance designs; completely randomized factorial designs; single factor repeated measures designs; split plot analysis of variance; chi-square analysis of frequency data; bivariate regression and correlation; multiple regression and multiple correlation; factor analysis; and multivariate analysis of variance. A reference guide for statisticians--to remind them of procedures learned earlier in their careers.

Download or read book A Conceptual Guide to Statistics Using SPSS written by Elliot T. Berkman and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps students develop a conceptual understanding of a variety of statistical tests by linking the statistics with the computational steps and output from SPSS. Learning how statistical ideas map onto computation in SPSS will help students build a better understanding of both. For example, seeing exactly how the concept of variance is used in SPSS-how it is converted into a number based on real data, which other concepts it is associated with, and where it appears in various statistical tests-will not only help students understand how to use statistical tests in SPSS and how to interpret their output, but will also teach them about the concept of variance itself. Each chapter begins with a student-friendly explanation of the concept behind each statistical test and how the test relates to that concept. The authors then walk through the steps to compute the test in SPSS and the output, pointing out wherever possible how the SPSS procedure and output connects back to the conceptual underpinnings of the test. Each of the steps is accompanied by annotated screen shots from SPSS, and relevant components of output are highlighted in both the text and in the figures. Sections explain the conceptual machinery underlying the statistical tests. In contrast to merely presenting the equations for computing the statistic, these sections describe the idea behind each test in plain language and help students make the connection between the ideas and SPSS procedures. These include extensive treatment of custom hypothesis testing in ANOVA, MANOVA, ANCOVA, and regression, and an entire chapter on the advanced matrix algebra functions available only through syntax in SPSS. The book will be appropriate for both advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in statistics.
