SPSS
About
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.
Coordinator
This course will be given by Carole Birrell and Marijka Batterham, from the National Institute of Applied Statistics Research Australia, both instructors have considerable experience with the use of this package.
