Overall Satisfaction with IBM SPSS Statistics
I use IBM SPSS Statistics for academic analyses, specifically within the domain of psychology and neuroscience.
Pros
- Data organization and set up
- Descriptive statistics
- Importing data from other platforms (excel)
- Saving data to multiple formats (pdf)
Cons
- Making output files more concise (students just learning how to use SPSS have a hard time figuring out where to look for information)
- Having "saved" or "favourite" functions for those that I use often (or in cases where I need to run back to back similar analyses)
- Data cleaning after importing from excel can be improved (some data automatically considered numeric whereas other data isn't)
- Saving time
- Data visualization
- Teaching and demonstrating
Syntax, Data file set up, saving to multiple formats, importing data from multiple formats
Show students clearly how the analyses are conducted (where the independent and dependent variables are, what kind of options and corrections can be requested)
