Spss Programming And Data Management

Boslaugh (pediatrics, Washington U. School of Medicine) describes the use of SPSS, the statistical analysis package, and its syntax for data management. Assuming no familiarity with the software, he describes basic computer programming with SPSS, reading and writing data files, file manipulation and management, variables and variable management, an

Dive deeper into SPSS Statistics for more efficient, accurate,and sophisticated data analysis and visualization SPSS Statistics for Data Analysis and Visualization goesbeyond the basics of SPSS Statistics to show you advancedtechniques that exploit the full capabilities of SPSS. The authorsexplain when and why to use each technique, and then walk youthrough the execution with a pragmatic, nuts and bolts example.Coverage includes extensive, in-depth discussion of advancedstatistical techniques, data visualization, predictive analytics,and SPSS programming, including automation and integration withother languages like R and Python. You'll learn the best methods topower through an analysis, with more efficient, elegant, andaccurate code. IBM SPSS Statistics is complex: true mastery requires a deepunderstanding of statistical theory, the user interface, andprogramming. Most users don't encounter all of the methods SPSSoffers, leaving many little-known modules undiscovered. This bookwalks you through tools you may have never noticed, and shows youhow they can be used to streamline your workflow and enable you toproduce more accurate results. Conduct a more efficient and accurate analysis Display complex relationships and create bettervisualizations Model complex interactions and master predictive analytics Integrate R and Python with SPSS Statistics for more efficient,more powerful code These "hidden tools" can help you produce charts that simplywouldn't be possible any other way, and the support for otherprogramming languages gives you better options for solving complexproblems. If you're ready to take advantage of everything thispowerful software package has to offer, SPSS Statistics for DataAnalysis and Visualization is the expert-led training youneed.

Written in an easy-to-read, straightforward manner, Next Steps with SPSS introduces readers to intermediate and advanced SPSS skills. These skills are introduced and illustrated with sample programs designed to apply powerful techniques in data handling and analysis, with the output from these programs presented and interpreted. The book is organized so that it builds increasingly advanced syntax coding skills, starting with the handling of complex data files and then moving to coverage of looping and macro skills. The book then switches to more windows-oriented skills suitable for working with SPSS output (as in pivot tables and interactive graphics) and for running SPSS in an alternative mode (as in a production facility). The book then returns to coding skills by introducing the more advanced topics of the scripting facility (which has broad application to handling data and creating output) and the matrix command language.

R is a powerful and free software system for data analysis and graphics, with over 5,000 add-on packages available. This book introduces R using SAS and SPSS terms with which you are already familiar. It demonstrates which of the add-on packages are most like SAS and SPSS and compares them to R's built-in functions. It steps through over 30 programs written in all three packages, comparing and contrasting the packages' differing approaches. The programs and practice datasets are available for download. The glossary defines over 50 R terms using SAS/SPSS jargon and again using R jargon. The table of contents and the index allow you to find equivalent R functions by looking up both SAS statements and SPSS commands. When finished, you will be able to import data, manage and transform it, create publication quality graphics, and perform basic statistical analyses. This new edition has updated programming, an expanded index, and even more statistical methods covered in over 25 new sections.

This book demonstrates how to use multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques available in the IBM SPSS mixed-effects program (MIXED). Annotated screen shots provide readers with a step-by-step understanding of each technique and navigating the program. Readers learn how to set up, run, and interpret a variety of models. Diagnostic tools, data management issues, and related graphics are introduced throughout. Annotated syntax is also available for those who prefer this approach. Extended examples illustrate the logic of model development to show readers the rationale of the research questions and the steps around which the analyses are structured. The data used in the text and syntax examples are available at www.routledge.com/9780415817110. Highlights of the new edition include: Updated throughout to reflect IBM SPSS Version 21. Further coverage of growth trajectories, coding time-related variables, covariance structures, individual change and longitudinal experimental designs (Ch.5). Extended discussion of other types of research designs for examining change (e.g., regression discontinuity, quasi-experimental) over time (Ch.6). New examples specifying multiple latent constructs and parallel growth processes (Ch. 7). Discussion of alternatives for dealing with missing data and the use of sample weights within multilevel data structures (Ch.1). The book opens with the conceptual and methodological issues associated with multilevel and longitudinal modeling, followed by a discussion of SPSS data management techniques which facilitate working with multilevel, longitudinal, and cross-classified data sets. Chapters 3 and 4 introduce the basics of multilevel modeling: developing a multilevel model, interpreting output, and trouble-shooting common programming and modeling problems. Models for investigating individual and organizational change are presented in chapters 5 and 6, followed by models with multivariate outcomes in chapter 7. Chapter 8 provides an illustration of multilevel models with cross-classified data structures. The book concludes with ways to expand on the various multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques and issues when conducting multilevel analyses. It's ideal for courses on multilevel and longitudinal modeling, multivariate statistics, and research design taught in education, psychology, business, and sociology.
