A unique point of this book is its low threshold, textually simple
and at the same time full of self-assessment opportunities. Other
unique points are the succinctness of the chapters with 3 to 6
pages, the presence of entire-commands-texts of the statistical
methodologies reviewed and the fact that dull scientific texts
imposing an unnecessary burden on busy and jaded professionals have
been left out. For readers requesting more background, theoretical
and mathematical information a note section with references is in
each chapter. The first edition in 2010 was the first publication
of a complete overview of SPSS methodologies for medical and health
statistics. Well over 100,000 copies of various chapters were sold
within the first year of publication. Reasons for a rewrite were
four. First, many important comments from readers urged for a
rewrite. Second, SPSS has produced many updates and upgrades, with
relevant novel and improved methodologies. Third, the authors felt
that the chapter texts needed some improvements for better
readability: chapters have now been classified according the
outcome data helpful for choosing your analysis rapidly, a
schematic overview of data, and explanatory graphs have been added.
Fourth, current data are increasingly complex and many important
methods for analysis were missing in the first edition. For that
latter purpose some more advanced methods seemed unavoidable, like
hierarchical loglinear methods, gamma and Tweedie regressions and
random intercept analyses. In order for the contents of the book to
remain covered by the title, the authors renamed the book: SPSS for
Starters and 2nd Levelers. Special care was, nonetheless, taken to
keep things as simple as possible, simple menu commands are given.
The arithmetic is still of a no-more-than high-school level.
Step-by-step analyses of different statistical methodologies are
given with the help of 60 SPSS data files available through the
internet. Because of the lack of time of this busy group of people,
the authors have given every effort to produce a text as succinct
as possible.
