Analysis Commands in the SPSS Program
Analysis Commands in the SPSS Program
Once the Active File has been created (and perhaps modified),
you can run any Analysis command that is appropriate for your
data.
If you using a point-and-click interface, Analysis operations
are performed by clicking the Analysis Menu items.
If you are using syntax,
different Analysis commands may have very different syntax,
depending on what they are designed to do, but all generally
have the command name, subcommands and perhaps keywords.
An example of an analysis command is DESCRIPTIVES.
One keyword of the command is VARIABLES=, and one
of the subcommands is STATISTICS=.
A program that asks for VARIANCE and SKEWNESS statistics
might look like:
The slash (/) separating the command from the STATISTICS subcommand
can be at the end of the first line (of the example), or on the
second line, before the STATISTICS keyword.
