Overview
This text offers a clear introduction to statistics for social science students. This is achieved by a user friendly exposition of the concepts and techniques in general, supported by definitions in boxes and worked practical examples. Statistics for Social Research introduces the basic statistical concepts of data description, sampling estimation, inference, and association/correlation in a simple and readable style. Using a simple step-by-step procedure, it takes readers through the application of these concepts to concrete problems with a full explanation of the problems involved. For SPSS users, these examples are reworked with a complete guide to the commands required and an explanation of the output that is generated. To help the reader, disks with all the data necessary to generate the results and replicate the procedures described in the book are available in both Macintosh and PC formats. Statistics for Social Research can be used as a stand-alone introduction to statistics or in conjunction with the SPSS package.Book Details
