Customer Reviews

Very useful for understanding statistics

This book is my favorite reference for understanding how to run and interpret statistical analyses. I used it when I was working on my dissertation and doing multiple regression for the analyses, and it was a godsend. Just as the title states, you are given step-by-step instructions on how to do the analyses and interpret them. What I think is particularly good about this book is that the authors don't overwhelm you with a lot of equations, formulas, and math.

One of my favorite statistical reference books

You do not need to be a social scientist nor use SAS to find this book helpful. I am not a social scientist, and often use other statistical software. Still, I use this guide more than any of my other statistical textbooks and reference books. The authors do an excellent job of explaining how to perform and interpret a variety of statistical tests. For SAS users, there are many example programs and instructions on how to write and interpret these. If you regularly use statistics in your schooling or career, this book is a must have!
