Data Analysis with SPSS 23rd - 27th April in Nairobi




In this course we take you through practical sessions of data analysis in SPSS from the basics. We adopt a non-mathematical approach by taking a real life business, research, government and academic organizational perspective. We will dwell in the importation of data from excel, creation of descriptive charts, modifying and selecting cases, calculating descriptive and inferential statistics. We will also tackle modeling of associations with correlations, contingency tables and multiple regressions. We will also learn how to format our output and export tables and charts.
