SPSS for Windows provides a powerful statistical analysis and data management system in a graphical environment. SPSS allows the user to access descriptive menus and simple dialog boxes which do most of the work for you. SPSS is a great tool for the social sciences.
A free hands-on workshop on SPSS will be offered on Wednesday, Oct. 18, from noon-1p.m. (free hour) in the Engineering building, Room 122. This introductory workshop is intended to demonstrate how to do the basic data analysis and data manipulation using SPSS for Windows. Nagaraj K. Neerchal, professor of statistics, and Justin Newcomer, a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Statistics, are the workshop's facilitators.
This workshop is a service of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Consulting (CIRC) in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UMBC. For more information on the workshops and on CIRC, visit http://www.math.umbc.edu/circ.
