Guidebook of Statistical Software for the Social and Behavioral Sciences, A

Book by Silver, N. Clayton, Hittner, James B.

Because standard statistical packages (SAS, SSPS, SYSTAT) do not account for every possible research situation, the authors have developed a collection of over 400 computer program descriptions written in a user-friendly manner. This is the first major reference of statistical software descriptions along with the information necessary to obtain the programs. Not only do many of the programs mentioned in this reference augment the standard statistical packages, but they are also either free of charge or available for a nominal fee. Furthermore, the programs described have been peer reviewed and published in various journals such as, Educational and Psychological Measurement, Behavior Research Methods, Teaching Psychology, and others. This is a must-have for any researcher's reference shelf! Quantitative methods experts, scholars, and researchers. A Longwood Professional Book
