ABSTRACT

This book explains how to perform numerous variants of a certain type of highly useful and common statistical analysis called analysis of variance (frequently shortened to ANOVA) using the SPSS computer software package, one of the most widely used and taught statistical software programs. As mentioned in the Preface, SPSS is available for several different platforms, including Windows, mainframe, and Macintosh versions, and knowledge of how SPSS is to be accessed is necessary and will not be provided here. It is assumed instead that the user will obtain the necessary information to access SPSS at the site where the program is to be run.
