Rating:
Summary: need to upgrade
Review: Its a very powerful books but the programs need changes as you all have and old computer cannot use this version. I think spss should think the old model or put the label outside the cds that this programs need a better computer or speed or new monitor.

Summary: Good for learners, but seriously limited in functionality
Review: SPSS is the most user-friendly of the major statistical packages, and in general I'm a big fan, having taught graduate statistics with SPSS and being a regular user in my own research. The student version, however, has one very serious limitation not mentioned in the promotional materials: it won't let you write in programming code ("SPSS syntax"). Most of us don't want to program, anyway, but the full version of SPSS allows you to set up your analyses in dialog boxes (which are great), and then save those analyses to a syntax window. Then, if you ever want to repeat your analyses, you don't have to go through all the bother again - you just re-run your syntax code. While this may sound like a minor issue, it's not - for the student, it means that three hours of homework might have to be repeated from scratch if the computer freezes; for the professional, it means you can't replicate your analyses easily. SO . . . all in all, sincerely high marks for SPSS, but low marks for this version.

Summary: SPSS 10.0 for Windows Student Version
Review: This book explain in very good way how to use efficiently statistical techniques, stating from description of data, plotting and examining them in order to notmalize them and then help to build the Multiple Regration Model. I used SPSS in my research and it is a very helpfull tool. And I think this book would be interesting for post graduate students and teachers.
