Create a flyer for "Practical Statistics"

While this textbook is meant as a guide for statistical software, I appreciate the fact that the authors do attempt to present students with the mathematics behind some of the methods.

A good, clear introduction to SPSS.

The following review regards the book “Practical statistics a quick and easy guide to IBM SPSS, Stata and other Statistical Software”, by David Kremelberg.
There are many textbooks about statistics. The first question we should answer is whether this book was necessary or not. To my point of view the answer is YES and I will explain why.

An excellent basic statistics text.

I selected another Sage book--Salkind's Statistics for People Who (think) They Hate Statistics. However, this textbook was a close second.

SPSS support, cheap. Good suitability as a supporting textbook.

A very useful text - makes understanding SPSS really simple!

This book can be adopted as an essential book for the course in Econometrics, Stata course or Applied Statistics. It has a moderate amount of necessary formulas, gives the codes for Stata programs and its' outcomes (with print screens). The contents is logical, starting from simple tests, linear regression and going to multiple, with a discussion of time series and structural equation model.

This is an excellent book for non-mathematicians who wish to learn the basics of statistics and want to be able to easily implement the acquired knowledge. The author provides the reader with very detailed instructions for the implementation of every statistical tool given in the book. Chapter 2 is particularly useful since it gives an easy to follow introduction to SPSS and STATA, the two statistical packages used throughout the book.

very good

Not at appropriate level.

Although I use both qualitative and quantitative methods in my research and reporting, the statistics aspects have never quite come easily. Yes, I do have a collection of statistics guides on my shelf, but still found myself seeking something a little more ‘fundamental.’ I found Kremelberg’s text very easy to read, and the step-by-step approach quickly proved to be invaluable.

good explanations, too simplistic for doctoral level work.

This is a very interesting and easy-to-read book. One of the best on \surface-teaching" or intuitive teaching of stats (i.e. the book does not present complex mathematical formulas but relies instead on statistical software outputs). I will strongly recommand the book to any graduate student using stats in their master's degree thesis and will add it to my course outline.
Thanks for putting together this great book!

Kremelberg's Practical Statistics makes simplicity out of complex; a must have book for doctoral students who need to understand SPSS.

Useful but not to be essential text as it doesn't have enough detail.

The book is an excellent source for my Management doctoral students working on applied research involving regression. I partcilarly liked the exposition of difficult concepts using to the point phrases followed by easy to comprehend mathematical notaion and/or formulae. Excellent reference textbook!

I find this book good as a resource for using SPSS and other statistical software. It provides step-by-step instructions about how to run each statistical test and provides graphical displays for each step. This book is useful as a supplement to the main text. I'm adopting it for the doctoral research class and I'm considering it also for my intro stats class.

too advanced for my students
