 The basic analysis in SPSS
Introduction: What is SPSS? 
 Originally it is an acronym of Statistical 
Package for the Social Science but now it 
stands for Statistical Product and Service 
Solutions 
 One of the most popular statistical 
packages which can perform highly 
complex data manipulation and analysis 
with simple instructions
The Four Windows: 
Data editor 
Output viewer 
Syntax editor 
Script window
The Four Windows: Data Editor 
 Data Editor 
Spreadsheet-like system for defining, entering, editing, 
and displaying data. Extension of the saved file will be 
sav.
The Four Windows: Output Viewer 
 Output Viewer 
Displays output and errors. Extension of the saved file will 
be spv.
The Four Windows: Syntax editor 
 Syntax Editor 
Text editor for syntax composition. Extension of the 
saved file will be sps.
The Four Windows: Script Window 
 Script Window 
Provides the opportunity to write full-blown programs, 
in a BASIC-like language. Text editor for syntax 
composition. Extension of the saved file will be sbs.
The basics of managing 
data files
Opening SPSS 
 Start  All Programs  SPSS Inc SPSS 16.0  
SPSS 16.0
Opening SPSS 
 The default window will have the data editor 
 There are two sheets in the window: 
1. Data view 2. Variable view
Data View window 
 The Data View window 
This sheet is visible when you first open the Data Editor 
and this sheet contains the data 
 Click on the tab labeled Variable View 
Click
Variable View window 
 This sheet contains information about the data set that is stored 
with the dataset 
 Name 
 The first character of the variable name must be alphabetic 
 Variable names must be unique, and have to be less than 64 
characters. 
 Spaces are NOT allowed.
Variable View window: Type 
 Type 
 Click on the type box. The two basic types of variables 
that you will use are numeric and string. This column 
enables you to specify the type of variable.
Variable View window: Width 
 Width 
 Width allows you to determine the number of 
characters SPSS will allow to be entered for the 
variable
Variable View window: Decimals 
 Decimals 
 Number of decimals 
 It has to be less than or equal to 16 
3.14159265
Variable View window: Label 
 Label 
 You can specify the details of the variable 
 You can write characters with spaces up to 256 
characters
Variable View window: Values 
 Values 
 This is used and to suggest which 
numbers represent which categories when 
the variable represents a category
Defining the value labels 
 Click the cell in the values column as shown below 
 For the value, and the label, you can put up to 60 
characters. 
 After defining the values click add and then click OK. 
Click
Practice 1 
 How would you put the following information into 
SPSS? 
Name Gender Height 
JAUNITA 2 5.4 
SALLY 2 5.3 
DONNA 2 5.6 
SABRINA 2 5.7 
JOHN 1 5.7 
MARK 1 6 
ERIC 1 6.4 
BRUCE 1 5.9 
Value = 1 represents Male and Value = 2 represents Female
Practice 1 (Solution Sample) 
Click
Click
Saving the data 
 To save the data file you created simply click file and 
click save as. You can save the file in different forms 
by clicking Save as type. 
Click
Sorting the data 
 Click Data and then click Sort Cases
Sorting the data (contd) 
 Double Click Name of the students. Then click 
ok. 
Click 
Click
Practice 2 
 How would you sort the data by the 
Height of students in descending order? 
 Answer 
 Click data, sort cases, double click height of 
students, click descending, and finally click 
ok.
Transforming data 
 Click Transform and then click Compute Variable
Transforming data (contd) 
 Example: Adding a new variable named lnheight which is 
the natural log of height 
 Type in lnheight in the Target Variable box. Then type in 
ln(height) in the Numeric Expression box. Click OK 
Click
Transforming data (contd) 
 A new variable lnheight is added to the table
Practice 3 
 Create a new variable named sqrtheight 
which is the square root of height. 
 Answer
The basic analysis
The basic analysis of SPSS that will 
be introduced in this class 
 Frequencies 
 This analysis produces frequency tables showing 
frequency counts and percentages of the values 
of individual variables. 
 Descriptives 
 This analysis shows the maximum, minimum, 
mean, and standard deviation of the variables 
 Linear regression analysis 
 Linear Regression estimates the coefficients of 
the linear equation
Opening the sample data 
 Open Employee data.sav from the SPSS 
 Go to File, Open, and Click Data
Opening the sample data 
 Go to Program Files, SPSSInc, SPSS16, and 
Samples folder. 
 Open Employee Data.sav file
Frequencies 
 Click Analyze, Descriptive statistics, then 
click Frequencies
Frequencies 
 Click gender and put it into the variable box. 
 Click Charts. 
 Then click Bar charts and click Continue. 
Click Click
Frequencies 
 Finally Click OK in the Frequencies box. 
Click
Spss (1)
Using the Syntax editor 
 Click Analyze, Descriptive statistics, then 
click Frequencies. 
 Put Gender in the Variable(s) box. 
 Then click Charts, Bar charts, and click 
Continue. 
 Click Paste. 
Click
Using the Syntax editor 
 Highlight the commands in the Syntax editor 
and then click the run icon. 
 You can do the same thing by right clicking the 
highlighted area and then by clicking Run 
Current 
Click 
Right 
Click!
Practice 4 
 Do a frequency analysis on the 
variable minority 
 Create pie charts for it 
 Do the same analysis using the 
syntax editor
Spss (1)
Answer 
Click
Descriptives 
 Click Analyze, Descriptive statistics, then 
click Descriptives 
 Click Educational level and Beginning 
Salary, and put it into the variable box. 
 Click Options 
Click
Descriptives 
 The options allows you to analyze other 
descriptive statistics besides the mean and Std. 
 Click variance and kurtosis 
 Finally click Continue 
Click 
Click
Descriptives 
 Finally Click OK in the Descriptives box. You will 
be able to see the result of the analysis.
Regression Analysis 
 Click Analyze, Regression, then click 
Linear from the main menu.
Regression Analysis 
salbegin =b +b edu +e 0 1 
 For example lets analyze the model 
 Put Beginning Salary as Dependent and Educational Level as 
Independent. 
Click Click
Regression Analysis 
 Clicking OK gives the result
Plotting the regression line 
 Click Graphs, Legacy Dialogs, 
Interactive, and Scatterplot from the 
main menu.
Plotting the regression line 
 Drag Current Salary into the vertical axis box 
and Beginning Salary in the horizontal axis box. 
 Click Fit bar. Make sure the Method is 
regression in the Fit box. Then click OK. 
Click Set this to 
Regression!
Spss (1)
Practice 5 
 Find out whether or not the previous 
experience of workers has any affect 
on their beginning salary? 
 Take the variable salbegin, and 
prevexp as dependent and independent 
variables respectively. 
 Plot the regression line for the above 
analysis using the scatter plot menu.
Answer 
Click
Spss (1)
Click on the fit tab to make 
sure the method is regression
Spss (1)
CONCLUSION 
 SPSS for windows is a computer package 
that will perform a wide variety of 
statistical procedures. 
 Data management and analysis can be 
handled well with SPSS. 
 Using SPSS we can manipulate data, make 
graphs and perform statistical techniques 
varying from means to regression.
