SPSS I and II Workshops
Led by Joe ScazzeroThe SPSS I Workshop is for participants who have never used or feel out-of-date with the statistics package SPSS. The menu-driven system of the Windows version of SPSS 18 will be demonstrated for performing common tasks such as: entering data into SPSS, creating variable and value labels, computer new variables, recording values, running selected statistical procedures, and saving data and output files. The SPSS I Workshop will cover the basics of this package. The dates for the SPSS I workshop are (repeating workshops):
The SPSS II Workshop is for participants who want to know how to create and use syntax files for the statistics package SPSS 18 for Windows.
