What is SPSS?

SPSS is a computer application that provides statistical


analysis of data.

It allows for in-depth data access and preparation,


analytical reporting, graphics and modeling.
Its statistical capabilities range from simple percentages to
complex analyses of variance, multiple regressions, and
general linear models.
The many features of SPSS are accessible via pull-down menus
or can be programmed with a proprietary syntax language.
 Syntax programming has the benefits of reproducibility and
handling complex data manipulations and analyses.
 Although Syntax language can sound intimidating, it is very easy
to use.
SPSS datasets always have 2-dimensional table structure
where the rows typically represent cases (such as individuals or
households) and the columns or variables represent
measurements (such as age, sex or household income).
SPSS can read and write data from ASCII text files, other
statistics packages, spreadsheets and databases.
SPSS History

The company was started in 1968 when Norman Nie, Dale


Bent, and Hadlai "Tex" Hull developed and started selling the
SPSS software. The company was incorporated in 1975, and
Nie served as CEO from 1975 until 1992. Jack Noonan served
as CEO from 1992 until the 2009 acquisition of SPSS Inc. by
IBM
Is SPSS a free software?

Is SPSS free? While SPSS is not free to use, the SPSS


offers a free trial before you buy. The SPSS package is
available for Apple Mac and Microsoft Windows PC
operating systems.
What is SPSS Used for?

SPSS Statistics is used in education, market research,


healthcare, government and retail throughout the entire
analytics process, from planning and data collection to analysis,
reporting and deployment
Excel Vs Spss

Excel is spreadsheet software, and SPSS is statistical


analysis software.

You can perform statistical analysis in Excel, but SPSS is more


powerful. SPSS has built-in data manipulation tools such as recording
and transforming variables; in Excel, you have a lot of work if you want to
do that job

Why SPSS is a much better choice than Excel for data


analytics?

These specialized tools enable organisations to perform in-depth


statistical analysis with ease, making SPSS a better choice for
researchers and data scientists. In contrast, the analytical options in
Excel are much more limited and also much harder to use.
How do I run a factor analysis?
• To run the factor analysis you must first select the variables you want to
analyze.

- Analyze  Dimension Reduction  Factor…


What does data in SPSS look like?

• There are four main views in SPSS.

The Data View

The Variable View


The Output View

The Syntax View


How do I run a factor analysis?
• There are different methods of extracting the factors from a set of data. The

following screenshots will show you the most common settings*


What is the Data View?

• Data View is arranged in a spreadsheet format that contains variables in


columns and cases in rows.

Variables

cases
records

Click on “Data View” to access this screen


What is the Variable View?
• The Variable View window contains the definitions of each variable in your
data set.

Click on “Variable View” to access this screen


What is the Output View?

• The Output View is where you see the results of your various queries such
as frequency distributions, cross-tabs, statistical tests, and charts.
How do I run a correlation?
• Analyze  Correlate  Bivariate.

Refrence
How do I save factor scores?

 The factor scores can be saved so


that they can be used for future
analysis
 Factor scores are saved as
variables in the data file, at the very
last columns of the data so far
Which Segmentation Solution is Better?

• Compare these two cluster analyses and


decide which solution provides the most
difference across segments.

4 Cluster Solution 5 Cluster Solution
