Features: SPSS is one of the best statistical software, deeply favored by users in various industries. To meet the needs of a broad readership for both an introduction to statistics and an introduction to statistical software operation, this book has changed the traditional approach of "two separate tracks" for statistical theory and software operation in previous SPSS books, fully integrating the two. The book is divided into 15 chapters and is positioned as an introductory text for statistical software and statistics. Based on SPSS 12.0, it addresses the needs of beginners in statistics and novice SPSS users, with a focus on statistical theory, providing detailed explanations of interface operations, data management, statistical chart creation, statistical descriptions, and the principles and practical operations of common one-way statistical analysis methods in SPSS. Its content fully covers the teaching scope of most professional undergraduate statistics courses in China and extends well beyond them, leveraging the powerful functions of SPSS. Each chapter includes references and review exercises, and chapters covering statistical theory also provide a summary of the chapter. The book is written in an accessible and engaging style, making it a rare reference book that combines statistical theory with SPSS operation. It can be used as a textbook for statistics for undergraduate and graduate students in various disciplines, but it is also a general introductory textbook for SPSS 10–12 versions. Therefore, it is entirely suitable as a reference book for individuals in various industries with non-statistical backgrounds who need to use statistical methods, as well as for those who wish to learn SPSS software from the beginning.
