Request a quote: this software is available for use at UQ, but is not covered by an existing UQ funding arrangement, and is not available through UQeMarket.For more information on how to access and use UQeMarket, see the instructions for UQeMarket purchases. Purchase through UQeMarket: this software is available for use at UQ, but you will need to purchase a licence through UQeMarket.If you're not sure if you're allowed to use these programs you can submit an IT request for more information. Funded site licence: this software has been purchased by a specific organisational unit, and they may have restrictions on who can use it and where.There may be restrictions on where you can install it and who can use it. You can install these programs on UQ-owned computers. Centrally funded: this software is purchased by ITS and can be used by UQ staff or students.Social science students will welcome this integrated, non mathematical introduction to quantitative data anlysis and the minitab package.Software at UQ is covered by a range of funding arrangements that appear in the ‘Purchase’ column of the table: Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises. In addition the book covers issues such as sampling, statistical significance, conceptualisation and measurement and the selection of appropriate tests. Techniques covered include univariate analysis (with frequency table, dispersion and histograms), bivariate (with contingency tables correlation, analysis of varience and non-parametric tests) and multivariate analysis (with multiple regression, path analysis, covarience and factor analysis). Students will learn a wide range of quantitative data analysis techniques and become familiar with how these techniques can be implemented through the latest version of Minitab. Quantitative Data Analysis with Minitab explains statistical tests for Minitab users using the same formulae free, non technical approach, as the very successful SPPS version. Quantitative data analysis is now a compulsory component of most degree courses in the social sciences and students are increasingly reliant on computers for the analysis of data.
