Introduction to SPSS
Basics of SPSS data entry and statistical analysis
Descriptive statistics
Describing variables : tables and diagrams
Describing variables numerically : averages, variation and spread
Shapes of distributions of scores
Standard deviation : the standard unit of measurement in statistics
Relationships between two or more variables : diagrams and tables
Correlation coefficients : Pearson's correlation and Spearman's rho
Regression : prediction with precision
Significance testing and basic inferential tests
Standard error
The t-test : comparing two samples of correlated/related scores
The t-test : comparing two groups of unrelated/uncorrelated scores
Confidence intervals
Chi-square : differences between samples of frequency data
Ranking tests for two groups : non-parametric statistics
Ranking tests for three or more groups : non-parametric statistics
Analysis of variance
The variance ratio test : using the F-ratio to compare two variances
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) : introduction to the one-way unrelated or uncorrelated ANOVA
Analysis of variance for correlated scores or repeated measures
Two-way analysis of variance for unrelated/uncorrelated scores
Multiple comparisons in ANOVA
Two-way mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA)
Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)
Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA)
Discriminant function analysis (for MANOVA)
More advanced correlational statistics
Partial correlation
Factor analysis
Item reliability and inter-rater agreement
Stepwise multiple regression
Hierarchical multiple regression
Advanced qualitative or nominal techniques
Log-linear analysis
Multinomial logistic regression
Binomial logistic regression
Data handling procedures
Reading ASCII or text files into the data editor
Missing values
Recoding values
Computing new variables with no values missing
Computing new variables with some values missing
Selecting cases
Samples and populations : generating a random sample
Inputting a correlation matrix
Checking the accuracy of data input.
