The author explains stats and spss in an easy to understand way that helped me through my advanced psych stats class. It was challenging at times, but the book explaining concepts and adding math/cheesy humor haha really helped me. I learned alot and would recommend.
The best textbook I've ever read. I used it as a supplement for a social science quantitative class and it went way deeper into stats than I needed. However, it was so well constructed that I found myself reading it out of enjoyment rather than just to make sense of my actual textbook for the class.
Khan Academy legt het een stuk beter uit naar mijn mening. Het duurde bij mij lang om bepaalde aspecten conceptueel te begrijpen, maar het was zeker de moeite waard. Weer wat slimmer geworden.
Very helpful approach for training grad students in the how to, but also why of some of these analyses...as long as they actually read and follow along ;).
