IBM SPSS for Intermediate Statistics, sixth edition, is designed to help readers analyze and interpret research data using IBM SPSS.

This user-friendly book shows readers how to choose the appropriate statistic based on the design; perform intermediate statistics, including multivariate statistics; interpret output; and write about the results. The book reviews research designs and how to assess the accuracy and reliability of data; how to determine whether data meet the assumptions of statistical tests; how to calculate and interpret effect sizes for intermediate statistics; how to compute and interpret post-hoc power; and includes an overview of basic statistics for those who need a review. Unique chapters on multilevel linear modeling; multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA); assessing reliability of data; multiple imputation; mediation, moderation, and canonical correlation; discriminant analyses; logistic regression; and factor analysis are provided. SPSS syntax is included for those who prefer this format.
