Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh 6th Edition


Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh: Analyzing and Understanding Data 6th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Samuel B. Green and Neil J. Salkind show students through the most basic of SPSS techniques using step-by-step descriptions, presents statistical techniques and instruction on how to conduct statistical analyses, and explains in detail how to avoid all the obstacles common in the study of statistics.

The development of easy-to-use statistical software like SPSS has changed the way statistics is being taught and learned. Students can make transformations of variables, create graphs of distributions of variables, and select among statistical analyses all at the click of a button. However, even with these advancements, students sometimes still find statistics to be an arduous task.

They continue to be faced with many potential obstacles and they might feel overwhelmed and stressed rather than challenged and excited about the potential for mastering these important skills. Samuel Green and Neil Salkind have written a text to specifically address these issues.

This text shows how to create new variables from existing ones and shows the basic procedures for describing qualitative and quantitative variables. It includes simple techniques such as bivariate correlational analysis and bivariate regression analysis, as well as more complex analyses such as partial correlational analysis, multiple linear regression, and discriminant analysis.

Each lesson includes step-by-step procedures, with copious illustrations of screen shots, for successfully completing a technique with sample data. Exercises at the end of each lesson allow students to practice what you have learned. Some of the lessons contain tips (in the margins) that will help you learn SPSS and will teach you short cuts that make SPSS easier to use.

MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications 4th Edition


MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications 4th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Amos Gilat walks readers through the ins and outs of this powerful software for technical computing. The first chapter describes basic features of the program and shows how to use it in simple arithmetic operations with scalars. The next two chapters focus on the topic of arrays (the basis of MATLAB), while the remaining text covers a wide range of other applications.

This text is presented gradually and in great detail, generously illustrated through computer screen shots and step-by-step tutorials, and applied in problems in mathematics, science, and engineering. It offers a beginner's introduction to understanding and using MATLAB®. Starting with basic features, the book covers everything needed to use the program effectively, from simple arithmetic operations with scalars to creating and using arrays to three-dimensional plots and solving differential equations.

Detailed images of computer screens, tutorials, worked examples, and homework questions in math, science, and engineering make mastering the program efficient and thorough. Users gain experience running MATLAN® with examples incorporated throughout the book. Topic explanations within framed boxes help users learn the program and its commands in an easy-to-use format.

Sample programs, applications, and homework problems allows instructors to show how MATLAB® is used in science and engineering. Subject matter includes script files, 2-D and 3-D plotting, function files, programming (flow control), polynomials, curve fitting, interpolation, and applications in numerical analysis.

Matlab: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving


Matlab: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving 2nd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Stormy Attaway presents both programming concepts and MATLAB's built-in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems.

It starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops and then solves problems using both the 'programming concept' and the 'power of MATLAB' side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications.

This text gives students the ability to program efficiently and exploit the power of MATLAB to solve problems with in depth coverage of file input/output, a topic essential for many engineering applications. It offers systematic, step-by-step approach, building on concepts throughout the book, facilitating easier learning. There are sections on 'common pitfalls' and 'programming guidelines' direct students towards best practice.

The book starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops, and then solves problems using both the 'programming concepts' and the 'power of MATLAB' side by side. New to this edition are more engineering applications to help the reader learn MATLAB in the context of solving technical problems, new and revised end-of-chapter problems, stronger coverage of loops and vectorizing in a new chapter, and updates to reflect current features and functions of the current release of MATLAB.
