SPSS screen images are used to make the ideas more clear to the readers. This is preceded by theoretical details and solved examples so that even those having minimal knowledge of computer can use SPSS easily and comprehend the complex intermediate steps involved in statistical analysis. Besides the undergraduate and postgraduate students of social sciences, the researchers and professionals in this field should find this book immensely useful. The Second Edition of the book has been prepared on the basis of the feedback received from the readers. As per their demand, a new chapter based on multivariate analysis, i.e., Factor analysis has been introduced.
