    Statistical Methods Using SPSS provides a practical approach for better understanding of the advanced statistical concepts that are applied in business, economics, epidemiology, public health, agriculture, and other areas of data analytics. Advanced statistical methods or advanced statistical techniques for analysing data arise because of the complex nature of data sets that cannot be analysed using the basic or the usual and common analytical techniques. This book describes more advanced statistical methods, offering a modern approach by introducing the advanced statistical concepts, before showing the application of these concepts in real-world examples with the application of SPSS statistical software.

    This book is useful in explaining advanced statistical analysis techniques to postgraduate students, doctoral students, and researchers. It is also a useful reference for students and researchers who require further guidance in advanced data analysis, and is designed for those with basic statistical knowledge.  Exercises and solution manuals are also included to aid in the understanding of the statistical analysis techniques explained in the book.

    Key features:

    • includes many topics advanced statistical techniques;
    • provides manual computations of statistical concepts;
    • includes a step-by-step guide for the different statistical analysis techniques being done using SPSS;
    • has a variety of data set examples to help explain the different statistical concepts; and
    • includes practical applications of the statistical concepts in SPSS.
