This is the code repository for Data Analysis with IBM SPSS Statistics, published by Packt Publishing. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the book from start to finish.
The journey starts with installing and configuring SPSS Statistics for first use and exploring the data to understand its potential (as well as its limitations). Use the right statistical analysis technique such as regression, classification and more, and analyze your data in the best possible manner. Work with graphs and charts to visualize your findings. With this information in hand, the discovery of patterns within the data can be undertaken. Finally, the high level objective of developing predictive models that can be applied to other situations will be addressed. By the end of this book, you will have a firm understanding of the various statistical analysis techniques offered by SPSS Statistics, and be able to master its use for data analysis with ease.
All of the code is organized into folders. Each folder starts with a number followed by the application name. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
FREQUENCIES VARIABLES=Price
/FORMAT=NOTABLE
/PERCENTILES=1.0 5.0 10.0 25.0 50.0 75.0 90.0 95.0 99.0
/STATISTICS=MINIMUM MAXIMUM
/HISTOGRAM
/ORDER=ANALYSIS.
You will need: IBM SPSS Statistics 24 (or higher). Here are the download links to the software: Trial https://www.ibm.com/analytics/us/en/technology/spss/spss-trials.html Info on subscription: https://www-01.ibm.com/software/analytics/subscriptionandsupport/spss.html Info on hardware specs: https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/osForProduct
You will also need Windows 10 or recent versions. IBM SPSS Statistics is available via trial download. However, the trial period is something in the order of 14 days, which is probably too short. IBM SPSS Statistics is available via annual single-user license and various other licenses, and relatively recently, via a subscription. Price lists and terms probably vary by country. IBM SPSS Statistics is packaged as Base plus optional modules. We made an effort to only use only elements of SPSS Base. Detailed installation steps (software-wise) in theIBM SPSS Statistics installation documentation can be found at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24041224.
