Editorial Reviews

Review
The book contains some excellent discussion of statistics and research methodology alongside the operation of the tests, thus providing a completely equation free introduction to some fairly hair-raising statistics. - British Psychological Society

The book presents quantitative analysis of data in a way that is acceptable to all and leads the reader through the often feared statistical analysis in a careful, competent manner. It should be included in libraries of both colleges and universities as well as recommended to all students attempting data analysis. An exceptionally clear and instructive book. - Computer Education

`I have looked at a number of books which combine the teaching of statistics with the teaching of a computer package. This is by far and away the best - clear, very readable. - Paul Webley, University of Exeter (on the SPSS version)

`This book is refreshingly different. It is a must for social science students and personnel professionals intending to undertake serious research in organisations. - Journal of Occupational and Organisational Psychology (on the SPSS version)

Product Description
Quantitative Data Analysis with Minitab explains statistical tests for Minitab users using the same formula-free, non-technical approach as the very successful SPSS version. Students are introduced to the basic commands of the package and shown how quantitative data analysis techniques can be implemented through the latest version of Minitab. Techniques covered include univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis, with discussion of issues such as sampling, conceptualization and measurement. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises. Social science students will welcome this integrated, non- mathematical introduction to quantitative data analysis and the Minitab package.
