Description and Table of Contents

Description

You have all of the essential components: software with enough options to make a whirling dervish take pause; a data set of questionable virtue cast in a starring role; and a plot waiting to unfold. Directing this production to a satisfying conclusion isn't easy. The goal of the SPSS 15.0 Statistical Procedures Companion is to point you in the right direction. See the SPSS 15.0 Advanced Statistical Procedures Companion for statistical introductions to some of the more advanced procedures in SPSS, including loglinear and logit analysis for categorical data, multinomial, two-stage and weighted least-squares regression, Generalized Estimating Equations, Generalized Linear Model, Kaplan-Meier, actuarial and Cox models for analysis of time-to-event data, variance components analysis, and ALSCAL.
