Statistical Package for the Social Sciences It just.. another day again without gain some results. But I learned something from drg Burhanuddin. It's about SPSS! Why SPSS? Probably you who study at Statistic or Mathematic section will ask, what does SPSS to do with a clinical dental student? Well it is really worth to calculate your data from your research. What is SPSS? SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is a data management and analysis product produced by SPSS, Inc. in Chicago, Illinois. Among its features are modules for statistical data analysis, including descriptive statistics such as plots, frequencies, charts, and lists, as well as sophisticated inferential and multivariate statistical procedures like analysis of variance (ANOVA), factor analysis, cluster analysis, and categorical data analysis. SPSS is particularly well-suited to survey research, though by no means is it limited to just this topic of exploration. Overall, SPSS is a good first statistical package for people wanting to perform quantitative research in social science because it is easy to use and because it can be a good starting point to learn more advanced statistical packages. Anyway, why I talked about this software? Because today I accompanied Helvine to drg Burhanuddin, one of our lecturers in Public Health to have a discussion and consultation about this software. Even I'm not in the Public Health yet but this information and studies really interesting, otherwise I'll get into Public Health section in a couple of weeks. Sorry all.. no photos. Heheheh... By the way thanks to Kidy for finding me the SPSS CD program version 12, and a tutorial book about SPSS :) Also for Edri for his information about SPSS and the tutorial site address :)
