Elliot (clinical sciences/biostatistics, U. of Texas Southwestern Medical Center) and Woodward (statistics, Southern Methodist U.) stick to the practical as they describe how to use statistical data analysis in real-world situations. Using SPSS examples extensively, they cover the basics of planning analysis, creating data sets, describing and examining data, comparing one or two samples in the t-test, performing correlation and regression, analyzing categorical data, analyzing variance and covariance, and working through logistic regression. Appendices summarize using SPSS for Windows and choosing the right procedure to use. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
