Review
"In Statistics Using SPSS, An Integrative Approach, Weinberg and Abramowitz have written an engaging and accessible introduction to the practice of statistics. A hands-on approach and a wealth of exercises and examples immerse the reader in the process of data analysis from the very beginning. Students and practitioners alike will benefit from the book's careful, gentle prose, its use of real data, and its step-by-step demonstrations of analytical techniques in SPSS. Perhaps best of all, the authors remain firmly grounded in application. Unlike many texts, In Statistics Using SPSS never loses sight of how statistics can be used to help us describe and better understand the world around us."
Sean P. Corcoran, Assistant Professor of Educational Economics, New York University

Not worth it,

This review is from: Statistics Using SPSS: An Integrative Approach (Paperback)
very dense book not useful at all for an Intro to Stats class. My professor makes corrections in it. I am not sure why she ordered it for the class. Book arrived quickly and in excellent shape

This book is a pain in the ass, but the disk it comes with can be quite useful to help you learn how to use the system.

This review is from: Statistics Using SPSS: An Integrative Approach (Paperback)
after trying to read through this needlessly complicated tome of gibberish, the only thing i've learned about stats is to hire an analyst.
