An Introductory Guide to SPSS for Windows

Do you need to conduct data analysis with SPSS but are unfamiliar with the software? This book will help you become a proficient SPSS (Version 7.5 for Windows 95) user by teaching you the fundamentals. The book covers the following critical basic skills: how to create data sets by defining and coding data, using a codebook and entering data; how to run SPSS and work with different SPSS files; how to manipulate data by recoding values, computing values, and selecting subsets of cases to include in an analysis; how to manage data files by reading data that have been entered using other software; how to append and merge files; how to analyze data using SPSS pull-down menus; and how to analyze data using programs written in SPSS syntax.

Next Steps With SPSS

Written in an easy-to-read, straightforward manner, Next Steps with SPSS introduces readers to intermediate and advanced SPSS skills. These skills are introduced and illustrated with sample programs designed to apply powerful techniques in data handling and analysis, with the output from these programs presented and interpreted. The book is organized so that it builds increasingly advanced syntax coding skills, starting with the handling of complex data files and then moving to coverage of looping and macro skills. The book then switches to more windows-oriented skills suitable for working with SPSS output (as in pivot tables and interactive graphics) and for running SPSS in an alternative mode (as in a production facility). The book then returns to coding skills by introducing the more advanced topics of the scripting facility (which has broad application to handling data and creating output) and the matrix command language.
