Description - Fundamental Statistics for Social Research by Duncan Cramer
Statistics play a vital role in the description of the results of empirical research in the social sciences. Consequently, an understanding of the way in which such data have been analysed is essential to be able to evaluate those results fully and critically. This accessible introduction to statistics using the program SPSS for Windows assumes no prior knowledge of statistics or computing and explains when to apply and how to calculate a wide range of statistical procedures commonly used in the social sciences. Ranging from chi-square and the t test to analysis of covariance and multiple regression, Duncan Cramer covers a wide choice of statistics including tests not found in other introductory texts, such as tests for determining whether correlations differ and the extent of agreement between observers. Important statistical points are illustrated with worked numerical examples, and exercises are provided at the end of chapters. Fundamental Statistics for Social Research covers SPSS Release 6 for Windows 3.1 and Release 7 for Windows 95.
It will prove an invaluable introductory statistics text for students, and a useful resource for graduates and professionals engaged in research in the social sciences.
