Abstract
The purpose of this book is "to provide the simplest possible introduction to the use of the computer in performing statistical analyses." An introduction to three computer packages (SPSS, SAS, and BMD) is provided for "students at all levels who have some knowledge of statistics." The book makes no pretense of being a statistics text (although an excellent bibliography is provided at the end of Ch. 5).
