03 Descriptive Statistics and z Scores in SPSS - SPSS for Beginners

2021 NEW SERIES for SPSS 27: • Introduction to Statis...
In this third video about SPSS for Beginners, Dr. Daniel shows you three ways to approach descriptive statistics in SPSS. If you want quick and basic descriptive statistics, use the Descriptives command to get the most commonly used statistics. The Frequencies command gives you a wide range of possibilities with the most flexibility to choose exactly what output that you want. When you want maximum output with lots of graphs - or if you want to split the descriptive statistics by a categorical variable (like gender), then use the Explore command.

Dr. Todd has provided incredibly clear and comprehensive explanations in his videos, making it remarkably easy for me to grasp the concepts. Despite struggling for the past three weeks to learn SPSS, I was able to absorb a significant amount of knowledge within just one hour of watching his videos. I greatly appreciate his teaching style.
If it were possible, I would be grateful for the opportunity to connect with Dr. Todd to seek his guidance and assistance with a specific issue I'm facing in my work. His expertise would be invaluable in helping me resolve this matter.
