SPSS tutorial for beginners


A few notes about the SPSS and its application


1. What is SPSS?

SPSS is an shortened form of a phrase, Statistical Package for Social Sciences.
It is a powerful tool to process data collected in areas related to exploring human natures and its behavoural characteristics, such as sociology, education, and psychology and etc.
Thus, it is considered as the most helpful statistical friend of any researcher to generate research findings, theories, models and  then reach meaningful conclusions to be shared and sold.

Therefore,  as for me, it is really hard to imagine that there is any researcher or any study to survive and then to thrive without any help of SPSS. 

Due to the SPSS, any researchers can easily draw diverse statistical findings for the collected data such as descriptive and inferencial statistical outputs, namely, frequencies, compare means with T-test, correlation among various variables, factor analysis of factors or variables and so on. Those statistical outputs be straightforwardedly considered as research findings and then underpinnings from which valuable results and conclusion are statistically drawn.  So easy so nice.

Welcome to SPSS for beginners in the following useful website:
http://www2.lse.ac.uk/methodology/tutorials/SPSS/creatingNew.aspx
Then, you are also being welcomed to have a look at my thesis findings in the blog which can display few real examples at advanced level, such as making clustering and drawing a path model.

Nothing succeeds like success.
