Download or read book SPSS 12 Made Simple written by Paul Kinnear and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2006-02-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SPSS 12 Made Simple provides a step-by-step coverage of every aspect of data analysis with SPSS from data entry to interpretation of the output. As well as advice on data entry and checking, there is guidance on the best ways of describing a data set and the choice of an appropriate statistical technique. Finally, the output is fully explained, with reference to fully annotated SPSS output. Extensive illustrations show exactly what is on the screen at every stage of the process, helping the reader to avoid common pitfalls and check their progress along the way. Most chapters end with practical exercises to illustrate the main points raised and allow the reader to test their understanding; but there is a final general revision section with further exercises on a range of topics. In view of the recommendations of the American Psychological Association, the book now contains advice on strength of effect, power and sample size. There is also guidance on how to report the results of statistical tests in journal articles. This new edition is written with the same clarity that has made the book such a success in the past. The initial chapters provide an introduction to the basics of SPSS, such as data entry, followed by more advanced techniques, such as sorting, case selection, aggregation and file merging. In these early chapters, the emphasis is upon checking the accuracy of data entry and exploring the data thoroughly before making any formal statistical tests. There is also extensive coverage of the powerful new graphics capabilities of SPSS 12. Each of the later chapters is devoted to a particular statistical technique. SPSS 12 Made Simple: *Covers a wide range of statistical tests including t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, regression, multi-way frequency analysis, discriminant analysis, logistic regression and factor analysis. *Shows you how to get as much out of your data as possible. *Gives advice (with appropriate cautions and caveats) on choosing a statistical test. *Makes extensive use of annotated screen snapshots of SPSS output, windows and dialog boxes. *Includes both chapter-specific and general exercises. *Has a comprehensive index.

The first six chapters and associated exercises provide an introduction to the basics of working with SPSS, while the remaining chapters cover more advanced topics such as various ANOVA designs, correlation and regression, loglinear analysis, discriminant analysis and, new to this edition, logistic regression. Further important changes and additions have also been made, prompted partly by readers' responses to earlier editions. Given modern familiarity with the PC, the first chapter 'The Personal Computer' has now been replaced with an expanded and consolidated discussion of basic research principles and advice on choosing a statistical test. Chapter 6 has been expanded to include a new section on One-sample Tests, including the one-sample t-test and various goodness-of-fit tests. In addition, to facilitate and test deeper understanding of the material covered, this edition includes a separate section of stand-alone exercises, which require the reader to decide upon an appropriate analysis without the aid of chapter context. As always, plentiful screen images of menus, dialogue boxes and output help the reader both to use SPSS 10 and understand the output. At all times, the authors have concentrated upon clarity and pser friendliness and avoided compendious detail. This, combined with a breadth of coverage much greater than that offered by most comparable texts, will ensure that this book continues to prove invaluable to the experienced researcher, postgraduate and undergraduate alike.

Download or read book Achieving Supply Chain Agility written by Yi Wu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies factors of information system (IS) integration that influence supply chain agility and illustrates how IS integration can achieve greater supply chain agility. Also considering the consequent operational impacts that arise from IS-enabled supply chain agility, the author presents real-life examples through interviews and surveys to explore how IS integrations affect supply chain agility in the context of the Chinese automotive industry. The ability to swiftly respond to competitive challenges is a key element in industry 4.0 and organisations with agile supply chains are better prepared to respond to uncertainties and changes. This book develops and presents guidelines on the deployment of information system integration in order to achieve efficient agile supply chains.

Download or read book Essential First Steps to Data Analysis written by Carol S. Parke and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2013 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide instruction and guidance on preparing quantitative data sets prior to answering a study's research questions. Preparation may involve data management and manipulation tasks, data organization, structural changes to data files, or conducting preliminary analysis such as examining the scale of a variable, the validity of assumptions or the nature and extent of missing data. The oresultso from these essential first steps can also help guide a researcher in selecting the most appropriate statistical tests for his/her study. The book is intended to serve as a supplemental text in statistics or research courses offered in graduate programs in education, counseling, school psychology, behavioral sciences, and social sciences as well as undergraduate programs that contain a heavy emphasis on statistics. The content and issues covered are also beneficial for faculty and researchers who are knowledgeable about research design and able to use a statistical software package, but are unsure of the first steps to take with their data. Increasingly, faculty are forming partnerships with schools, clinics, and other institutions to help them analyze data in their extensive databases. This book can serve as a reference for helping them get existing data files in an appropriate form to run statistical analysis. This book is not a replacement for a statistics textbook. It assumes that readers have some knowledge of basic statistical concepts and use of statistical software, or that they will be learning these concepts and skills concurrently throughout the course. SPSS was chosen to illustrate the preparation, evaluation, and manipulation of data. However, students or researchers who do not use SPSS will benefit from the content since the overall structure and pedagogical approach of the book focuses heavily on the data issues and decisions to be made.
Download or read book Approaching Multivariate Analysis 2nd Edition written by Pat Dugard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully updated new edition not only provides an introduction to a range of advanced statistical techniques that are used in psychology, but has been expanded to include new chapters describing methods and examples of particular interest to medical researchers. It takes a very practical approach, aimed at enabling readers to begin using the methods to tackle their own problems. This book provides a non-mathematical introduction to multivariate methods, with an emphasis on helping the reader gain an intuitive understanding of what each method is for, what it does and how it does it. The first chapter briefly reviews the main concepts of univariate and bivariate methods and provides an overview of the multivariate methods that will be discussed, bringing out the relationships among them, and summarising how to recognise what types of problem each of them may be appropriate for tackling. In the remaining chapters, introductions to the methods and important conceptual points are followed by the presentation of typical applications from psychology and medicine, using examples with fabricated data. Instructions on how to do the analyses and how to make sense of the results are fully illustrated with dialogue boxes and output tables from SPSS, as well as details of how to interpret and report the output, and extracts of SPSS syntax and code from relevant SAS procedures. This book gets students started, and prepares them to approach more comprehensive treatments with confidence. This makes it an ideal text for psychology students, medical students and students or academics in any discipline that uses multivariate methods.
