“This book provides excellent descriptions and guidance on the use of graphical images for data presentation. These are necessary tools for all students pursuing graduate degrees with a research component attached.”
“I am delighted to see a book of this kind. It fills a gap in conventional statistics books, which devote just one chapter to graphical displays. This book helps students make the connection between research questions and graphical approaches in a way that no other statistics book has done.”
“I like the approach that argues graphs are one way to understand data and answer pertinent questions. This is a very useful entrée for the many ‘number-phobic’ students we encounter in social work.”
"It's easy to read, and provides plenty of examples and practice so students can get the concepts."
"It presents a comprehensive list of graphs available in SPSS, with details about how to construct and interpret them."
"The comprehensive treatment of an important topic, including 'walk-throughs' of how to produce a graph of each type, is well done. The chapter on deception brings in coverage of a useful and important topic as well."
A useful book that will help students generate appropriate graphs for their projects.
A superb additional text for students wishing to improve their SPSS skills.
This book is an excellent tutorial for students that are anxious about using SPSS for graph development.
This is a really excellent guide for students in how to prepare graphs using SPSS which students often struggle with
