Intro to SPSS for Windows
and SPSS Syntax
Sam Gordji, Ph.D.
Statistical Consultant
ccsam@olemiss.edu
Visit us on the Web at www.olemiss.edu/depts/it.
This seminar covers SPSS and SPSS syntax. A
program called freq1_0829.sps will be activated.
Then, this program will be modified and other
procedures will be added to it. A Technique called
“Point and Click” will be used to show how different
procedures (statistics) may be added to the SPSS
input file. Only those that are going to repeat one
statistics many times should utilize this method. The
SPSS input and out put also will be discussed
