Hello everyone,
I am currently studying a Bachelor programme in Social Sciences at the
VUB/UGent and one of the courses requires the use of SPSS [1]. Would it
feasible to use PSPP instead for such an introductory course? A part of
the exam for this course is to use SPSS, as such, are the skills
transferable?
The course outline specifies the following points:
- T-test for the difference between two means.
- One-way ANOVA
- Bivariate regression (basics, residuals and influence statistics,
inferential statistics).
- Multiple regression (basics, redundancy/suppression, inferential
statistics and assumptions, categorical independent variables, F-tests,
and interaction effects).
As I do not have much knowledge on statistic software (or statistics in
general), I would deeply appreciate any thoughts and insights on this
matter. Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Sofía Aritz
