Introduction to Statistical Analysis Using PASW Statistics

Course description:

The focus of this two-day course is an introduction to the statistical component of SPSS. This is an application-oriented course and the approach is practical. You'll take a look at several statistical techniques and discuss situations in which you would use each technique, the assumptions made by each method, how to set up the analysis using SPSS as well as how to interpret the results. This includes a broad range of techniques for exploring and summarizing data, as well as investigating and testing underlying relationships. You will gain an understanding of when and why to use these various techniques as well as how to apply them with confidence, and interpret their output, and graphically display the results using SPSS.

This course uses the SPSS for Windows Base and the Data Preparation Add-on Module.
