Very Clear and honest

I accessed this book on-line to check out the chapter on Survival Analysis. It is a model of clear, honest writing. It is a mark of generosity and justified self-confidence that the authors make the book available on line for free. I would still recommend buying it for the convenience of book format and to support such a fine effort. Foster Brown

Very Practical

This is a great book for individuals wanting to learn more about SPSS and statistics in general. The chapters are fairly straightforward although the final two chapters dealing with factor analysis and cluster analysis are very demanding. It was nice to be able to download data sets from the internet and work through the problems. The book uses SPSS Version 11.0 and I had version 12.0. (I think 13.0 has been released.) There were some important differences between 11 and 12, notably with creation of graphs and other graphical displays of the data. SPSS is widely used for analyzing social and behavioral sciences data, but I am using it for medical data and have found it to meet almost all of my needs.
