Featuring just the right amount of information and instruction, Kirkpatrick and Feeney's no-nonsense, streamlined guide provides a thorough introduction to Version 14.0 of the powerful SPSS software.

Writing for students who need to use SPSS to complete homework problems or to conduct statistical analysis for a research project, Kirkpatrick and Feeney keep their explanations as simple and practical as possible.
