Product Description

This book provides a clear introduction to widely used topics in bivariate and multivariate statistics, including multiple regression, discriminant analysis, MANOVA, factor analysis, and binary logistic regression. Author Rebecca M. Warner uses an applied approach that does not require formal mathematics; equations are accompanied by verbal explanations, and students are asked to think about the meaning of the equations. Each chapter presents a complete empirical research example to illustrate the application of a specific method, along with a glossary and comprehension questions to help students maste each concept. SPSS examples are used throughout the booik; however, the conceptual material will be helpful for users of different programs.
