A practical and valuable to your statistic library
|
|
This statistics book is a handy and easy to navigate guide to both basic and advanced methods of multivariate analysis. It is written in a very accessible style, and the SPSS example printouts provide clear and practical guidance for data analysis. In summary, a good blend of theory and hands on examples, and an excellent text for those studying at a postgraduate level as well a more advanced text for undergraduates.

T and F is a good comprehensive text for anyone who wants to gain a thorough understanding of advanced statistical techniques for social sciences. Not recommended as an intro text though, because it assumes a fairly firm bedrock of knowledge.

The blue slope of statistics books

This book is a must for those who are about to write up the results section of their thesis related to the social sciences. Tabachnick and Fidell explain the statistical analyses from clean up to advanced structural equation modelling with relevant SPSS, SYSTAT, and SAS syntax commands to execute the analyses. These syntax files are particularly handy when T & F recommend tests that are not part of the basic knowledge researchers may have about these packages. However, if only basic knowledge is exactly what is required and/or you are a beginner at stats, I would suggest Andy Field's Discovering Statistics (SPSS only) instead. Field himself uses T & B as a resource, which highlights the totem-pole order here. Tabachnick and Fidell's book is an excellent source of reference with detailed information on each type of analysis, but not for the faint-hearted.
