SPSS Windows
Data View
Used to display data Columns represent variables Rows represent individual units or groups of units that share common values of variables

Variable View
Used to display information on variables in dataset TYPE: Allows for various styles of displaying LABEL: Allows for longer description of variable name VALUES: Allows for longer description of variable levels MEASURE: Allows choice of measurement scale

Output View
Displays Results of analyses/graphs

Data Entry Tips I

For variables that are not identifiers (such as name, county, school, etc), use numeric values for levels and use the VALUES option in VARIABLE VIEW to give their levels. Some procedures require numeric labels for levels. SPSS will print the VALUES on output For large datasets, use a spreadsheet such as EXCEL which is more flexible for data entry, and import the file into SPSS Give descriptive LABEL to variable names in the VARIABLE VIEW Keep in mind that Columns are Variables, you dont want multiple columns with the same variable

Data Entry/Analysis Tips II

When re-analyzing previously published data, it is often possible to have only a few outcomes (especially with categorical data), with many individuals sharing the same outcomes (as in contingency tables) For ease of data entry:
Create one line for each combination of factor levels Create a new variable representing a COUNT of the number of individuals sharing this outcome

When analyzing data Click on:

DATA WEIGHT CASES WEIGHT CASES BY Click on the variable representing COUNT All subsequent analyses treat that outcome as if it occurred COUNT times

Example 1.3 - Grapefruit Juice Study

crcl 38 66 74 99 80 64 80 120
