Knowledge on Medical Statistics is indispensable to conduct and comprehend evidence-based clinical research. This book equips the readers with basic knowledge on principles and practice of medical statistics and is essential reading for researchers and clinicians working on a variety of medical research. A step-by-step tutorial is offered through this book that is both practical and detailed.

The Statistical Tool for the Social Sciences, or SPSS, is a powerful and user-friendly software package for data management and statistical analysis. The package is especially beneficial for students and researchers in field of medicine and allied health sciences as it contains a wide range of univariate and multivariate techniques that are commonly used in these fields. The purpose of this manual is to provide quick and easy instructions on how to perform a variety of statistical analyses using SPSS (any version) but precisely the most recent version of SPSS. Each chapter focuses on a distinct sort of analytical process that can be used on one or more data sets, mostly (but not solely) from medical sciences. Although we focus mostly on how to use SPSS to obtain findings and how to interpret them appropriately, the core theoretical foundation of many of the strategies is also presented in separate boxes. Readers are referred to other sources for details when more advanced processes are used. Many of the boxes contain a few mathematical formulae, but we expect that by isolating this material from the rest of the text, even readers with basic mathematical knowledge will be able to conduct suitable analyses of their data. We anticipate that researchers and students with medical background will find this book to be a rather self-contained guide to accurately analyzing data using SPSS.
