The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, or IBM SPSS for short, is one of the most prominent and dynamic analysis software available. Its popularity is a result of how it makes it incredibly easy and simple to do basic and complex statistical analyses using a simple graphical user interface. This is unlike many other data analysis software that requires you to write multiple codes to do even the most basic and simplest of tasks.

SPSS is widely used in academics, research work, business, and in many development organizations worldwide, so investing your time into learning it is one of the best things you can do.

In this book, I will walk you through the basics of the SPSS workspace and its default settings. Precisely, you will learn how to create variables, z scores, analyze various types of descriptive statistical data from single categorical data to scalar data using basic SPSS statistics, formulate some basic charts, modify tables using the pivot table, basic syntax, and codes, perform inferential statistics using the three basic t-tests, correlation, and regression.

By the time, you finish reading this book; you will be equipped with the basics, master the skills and become a Pro in SPSS Data Analysis.
