Product Description
This book focuses on when to use the various analytic techniques and how to interpret the resulting output from the most widely used statistical packages (e.g., SAS, SPSS).
From the Publisher
The author uses a novel approach to provide conceptual discussions of the various techniques by applying geometry to present the concepts. A small data set, along with hand calculations, illustrates the main point of the method and is then analyzed using standard statistical packages such as SPSS and SAS. An annotated interpretation of the output is included and contains the diverse assumptions made by the technique and their effect on the results. Most of the chapters contain appendices which offer technical details and can be used by those well-versed in matrix algebra. The accompanying disk includes data sets for end-of-chapter exercises featured in the text and many that are not.
