"Mertler and Vannatta have done an outstanding job in presenting what is often seen as
being difficult material in a form that my students have found to be straightforward and
understandable. The book also provides a nice overview of univariate statistics,
which makes the transition to multivariate smooth and seamless."
— Richard C. Sprinthall, American International College
"This is the most practical multivariate book I've seen. It explains difficult concepts
clearly and gives the beginning research student
the ability to understand and run sophisticated techniques. A great book!"

"I really like how SPSS is woven into every chapter, and the checklist at the end of each chapter that goes over all the steps in running a particular test is very useful. I wonder why no one thought of that before!"
— Camilo Ortiz, Long Island University
"Great book! Easy to read, thorough, clear on statistical steps needed, good examples, and easy SPSS commands to follow."
— Matthew S. Johnson, Texas Christian University
"This text is being adopted for my advanced statistics course. I found the text appealing because it is well written and presents material in an easily comprehensible manner. It seems to be a great resource for students needing to learn application over theory of statistical methods."
— Joshua C. Watson, Mississippi State University,
Meridian
“Wonderful, accessible text for undergraduate social science students.”
— Jacqueline Reihman, State University of New York, Oswego
“What an awesome book! Filled with important theoretical concepts of each test in a very user-friendly manner with step-by-step practical guides, starting from sample research questions through meaningful interpretations, through writing up results. I love it…my students love it. The authors make hard concepts easy to understand, which is always very much appreciated by learners.”
— Ratchneewan Ross, Kent State University
“Great book. Difficult material made easy to understand.”
