Overall Satisfaction with IBM SPSS Modeler

As an online psychology and statistics tutor, research consultant, and uni student, I use SPSS daily to support undergraduate, postgraduate and lecturer learning of how to use the SPSS program and interpret findings; as well as using the program for in-house research, my assessments, and as a consultant for NGOs, small business and as a research assistant for academic staff. Problems addressed include: descriptive analyses, assumption checking, NHST, effect sizes, and building models such as with path analysis, SEM, moderation and mediation (using PROCESS), and visual representation of data; for lecture and tutorial reviews, research proposals and reports including theses, and to manage research projects from outside of academia.

Did IBM SPSS Modeler live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM SPSS Modeler go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM SPSS Modeler again?

Yes

For those first learning to set up a dataset, analyse data and interpret output. Quantitative analysis. Not well suited to correlations which don't meet the assumptions of tests on SPSS, creating CIs for some regression analyses, qualitative analysis (I use NVivo).
