I am trying to put together a list of intermediate to advanced
instructional books for SPSS for Unix. Our group currently runs 6.1
but we are hoping to be afforded an upgrade to 10.1 early in the
coming year. Hopefully (but not necessarily)these books are in print,
as we are trying to get them ordered by our institutional library. By
intermediate I mean that the target audience for these books (myself
included) can work easily with retrieval and processing of data, can
work with crosstabs and descriptives and understand multiple
regression and ANOVA in principle but need to both work on extended
GLM and ML concepts and on technical aspects of SPSS such as
cultivating the output in the report procedure and maximum parsimony
of syntax through the use of "do repeats" and macros. The focus here
is on SPSS programming more than on straight-forward chalkboard
explanation of the statistics in question. We won't mind the math
when it comes up, though. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or
suggestions!
