This course is intended for academic staff and postgraduate students who are planning to use this package. SPSS's operation on a Mac is almost identical to PC, and Mac users would have no transitional difficulties. The course provides an introduction to SPSS on PCs, and includes:
- defining variables
- graphical techniques
- saving data and output
- importing data
- computing new variables
- hypothesis testing: t-tests, proportions, two-way tables
- correlation
- linear regression.
This course will be given by Carole Birrell, School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics, who has considerable experience with the use of this package. Course notes will be provided. Please bring along a diskette for saving work. Please be aware that this course teaches statistical computing, not statistics. You should know how to use a PC or a Mac computer. If you need training in basic statistics, you should do the course Statistical Methods for Research Workers, offered each Session. A charge of $66 (or $60 if paid by your University department) will be made for students currently enrolled in a research degree at the University of Wollongong and salaried staff of the University of Wollongong. A receipt will be issued. The course is limited to a maximum of 20 people. Enrolments will be taken strictly in order of receipt. The course will not run if there are insufficient enrolments. To enrol in this course, please complete an enrolment form and return it, with a cheque for $66 (payable to "University of Wollongong"), to the School of Maths & Applied Statistics. Alternatively, provide a University account number which may be debited, and have the debit approved by an authorised signatory. Applications will not be accepted without accompanying payment. For enquiries about the content of the course, please contact Carole Birrell (x5872), or by e-mail: cbirrell@uow.edu.au. Data files for Course
