IBM SPSS for Intermediate Statistics: Use and Interpretation, Fifth Edition

This is a good book for those with a statistics background that need a refresher and reference for many important topics. I ordered one for my assistant as well!

If you do research using SPSS then this is the best and maybe the only book you will ever need.

Does a nice job of facilitating a solid fundamental level of SPSS skill (using dialog boxes - not much in way of syntax). I use as a supplementary text in a grad multivariate data analysis class I teach. Not a fan of the mediation chapter as I find it more helpful/useful to students to teach Baron and Kenny approach utilizing regression; but, overall the content is helpful to those with scant SPSS/data analysis background, and students seem to appreciate the straight-forward distilling of fundamental concepts and SPSS skills the book presents.

Needed it for a class and it was delivered as described.

Easy step by step approach with screen shots to achieving your statistical goal.
