Quantitative Data Analysis with Minitab: A Guide for Social Scientists

Quantitative Data Analysis with Minitab explains statistical tests for Minitab users and employs the same formula-free, non-technical approach as the very successful SPSS version. Students are introduced to the basic commands of the package and shown how quantitative data analysis techniques can be implemented through the latest versions of Minitab. Techniques covered include univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis, with discussion of issues such as sampling, conceptualization and measurement. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises. Social science students will welcome this integrated, non-mathematical introduction to quantitative data analysis and the Minitab package.
