02 Descriptive Statistics and Frequencies in SPSS - SPSS for Beginners

[@siriuslymeva]

ive been procrastinating using/learning how to use spss for over a month, and this made it so easy to understand. thank you so much. absolute life saver.

[@ResearchByDesign]

You're very welcome!

[@JJ-vc6pp]

Wow. At Last! An SPSS training that shows the micro steps, explains the input field functions clearly and visibly demonstrates with a pointer what tab is being accessed at every stage of the process, rather than rushing ahead according to the tutors own level of expertise and not the students. You are a great teacher and have made look easy and accessible, within a few minutes, what other trainings have failed to demystify over a period of hours. As part of my PhD work I just struggled partway through 2 recommended SPSS trainings on Udemy and was left sea sick and convinced the program/software was beyond me. There are many great trainers, but far too many cannot coherently unpack what they know and introduce it effectively, to those who do not yet know, for successful applied learning. Thank You!

[@amithafernando4021]

You have no idea how your tutorials has just saved my thesis... You are an awesome teacher!!!💟

[@ditibanerjee8928]

I'm actually a beginner in SPSS trying to learn how to handle it... I am a research scholar from India.. I want to thank you for your lectures on spss.... it is actually very helpful for me...the way you teach, helping me to understand very easily Thank you Professor..thank you very much

[@ResearchByDesign]

Happy to help! Best of luck with your studies!

[@minanal-ezzi7382]

If I only had your videos during my PhD I would not have taken it the hard way. Now I am benefitting from these wonderful videos in my lectures.

[@kiranamna3099]

I am a statistician. He has a superb way to explain all the things step by step. A big hand for him

[@hpham8543]

Came for the knowledge, stay for the on-point lecturing and the professional camera work.

[@honestea]

Dear Professor, I am a clinician going into research and this was a wonderful kickstart for SPSS. I am sure you must be really well read in this subject to be able to simplify it so much for beginners like us. Thank you once again and I will definitely see the other videos on report writing. Regards and Best wishes

[@ResearchByDesign]

Wow, thank you! Glad that you liked it and I hope that you find other useful videos on the channel

[@maseerashaikh4066]

Your explanation is so simplified, clear, and with the right tone and pace makes it super easy to comprehend. Thank you

[@johnpatrickmecha8785]

I only know Jamovi as a statistical tool. This SPSS is very powerful and a bit complicated to learn, but through this video, I can easily follow and practice SPSS as a beginner. Thanks Dr. Daniel.

[@LioSchoolacc]

I’ve been so worried about my statistics courses because anything with numbers terrifies me, and if computers are involved doubly so. After watching these first few videos and actually understanding everything, I feel like it might not be so impossible after all. Thank you so much for making these videos.

[@yoursvnr]

Hello, Dr. Daniel, thank you so much for these videos. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but these videos have helped me really understand how this program works. Very effective and efficient explanations!

[@Omoola360]

Waoo!! These videos were actually created 6 yrs ago and it is just very much relevant now. I wished I had seen these then, I'm so happy for discovering this channel.

[@ericmarcus9277]

[@akiwong1071]

This video is so good, it makes SPSS much simplier!!!

[@cursedwaffle]

Im really stuck on where and how to start analyzing this data. the biggest mistake that I had was, not knowing what I want to do with all these. luckily I watched your videos, and it gives me some insights and helped me a lot to understand! your explanation is very easy to catch. thank you. really appreciate this series.

[@ResearchByDesign]

Such an important topic: always know what you are going to do with the data before you collect the data. If you do, then life will be good. But having a mess of data make life sad...you are so right. Good luck on your project.

[@masu1923]

Thank you for your explaining and sharing SPSS is so clear.

[@Supermodel2020]

Wow! I am totally enjoying your class Prof. Today is my VERY FIRST TIME to download and use SPSS. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@ResearchByDesign]

[@vineetkapoor6482]

Thanks Dr Daniel, I go to know the SPSS tool by your videos, and I can say it is very good tool for those, who dont want to do coding in R, python, this tool saves lot of time and it is a good tool for data scientist.

[@ResearchByDesign]

I agree...the biggest drawback is cost, but SPSS is very easy to use and a good tool for doing stats.

[@saadsufiyansaad]

From Nigera. I benefited from you presentation professor God bless you.

[@deelamp4858]

I can truly appreciate these videos. Dr. Daniel, you've done wonders in making SPSS user friendly. Now to describe what I've plotted is the kicker. Thank you! #iwillnotbedefeated #ihavetohavethis #futuredoctor

[@ResearchByDesign]

Excellent! Wish you the best in your degree program

[@CaptainCupcake]

Hi there! Thank you so much for your videos. I have an issue with SPSS and I can't seem to find the solution. When I make a frequency table for different variables, I don't get all the values that were given in the table. For example: I make a frequency table of the variable 'How happy are you?', the values lable from 1 - 5. If I look at the frequency table in my output, it gives only 2 - 5. Presumably because no one chose value 1, how do I manage to still show 1 - 5 in the table?

[@Deliriumz18]

I am loving these educational videos very much

[@ResearchByDesign]

Glad you like them! Please keep watching.

[@vaishaligupta9408]

[@ResearchByDesign]

SPSS has some excellent strengths for analysis. I have enjoyed teaching with it.

[@somachaudhuri9068]

Excellent demonstration... very much helpful.

[@ResearchByDesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alyssasteenbergen1828]

Is age nominal, ordinal, or scale when you ask what age group are you in ? for spss

[@moseschanda2259]

It's scale..cause you're asking "how many" years someone has

[@prof.dr.kosggaraj6099]

Spss made easy. Thank you Professor. I really appreciate your efforts to make us learn spss, once it was considered hard.

[@ResearchByDesign]

You are welcome! I am glad that they were helpful.

[@Saddam-wj2kw]

I am really grateful for you. It is understandable and simple. What a great prof. you are! Best wishes.

[@AnabergMorris]

Dear Sir, you are a genius ❤

[@Selin-is5rm]

You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much.

[@StephanieJacobs604]

You seem like a great teacher. Question; what do you do if your data is ALREADY a frequency table, and you want SPSS to like... read it as such? Is that possible?

[@ResearchByDesign]

Yes, if you have frequencies, you could enter them as they are and then use the WEIGHT CASES command to weight the categories by frequencies. You can then calculate mean & SD, etc. Enter one column as the categories and a second column of frequencies. good luck

[@judegandus7003]

Please Sir, this is awesomely fantastic. am so much happy to find this

[@delen93]

simple and easy to follow . Thank you very much.

[@unovayellow6953]

thank you for the lecture, very helpful years later

[@miscelleneoustubes]

Dear Sir, If I had ID as alpha-numeric (Ex. B321), can I still maintain the type "Numeric"? Or "String"? Will it make any difference in the analysis?

[@Black_Labyrinth]

What if the bars in my bar graphs don't connect and there a small space between them for the analysis part ?

[@nurizzatimohdhussain2084]

Hi Dr.Daniel, I'm currently doing a research study on extracurricular activities effect on stress level. I've done the questionnaire, put in the data in SPSS. I need to find the prevalence of stress, frequency of both data and the correlation of it. i also need to do a chi-square test. The problem is, I don't know how to start. I keep getting confused on the dependent and independent variables

[@ResearchByDesign]

RStatsInstitute No problem...just reach out to me at ToddDaniel at MissouriState.edu. I can send you some materials to help. Thanks for watching.

You're an excellent teacher

[@ResearchByDesign]

Thank you! 😃

[@lidkmoncayo7090]

Wowwwww!! Your video is so great and very understandable!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I just subscribed, how not!🤗🤗🤗

[@ResearchByDesign]

Thanks for subbing!

[@bonfacemacharia7388]

Thank you so much sir.

[@zewduhailu9966]

Very clear presentation! Thanks in advance!!!

[@ResearchByDesign]

Glad that it was helpful!

[@tinascee881]

HELP!!! I followed this video step-by-step using my assigned data. I entered 6 participants (4 male, 2 female). However, when I clicked analyze, descriptive statistics then frequencies -- a chart was created show 11 participants with 5 missing. WHY 11 ??? and how do I correct this to show only 6?

[@ResearchByDesign]

SPSS is reading the rows below your data as missing. This will happen if you have additional rows on data in other columns. A sure fix is to open a fresh dataset and re-enter the numbers. When this "error" occurs, it is often because of importing a file from Excel and/or entering data in other parts of the dataset, then deleting it and starting over. You have "activated" 11 rows. Good luck

[@jyotibhargad312]

I love you sir you made it so easy to learn SPSS thank you so much

[@solomonlazarus194]

A questionnaire with likert scales of 1-5, while entering the data into SPSS, should it be ordinal or nominal measure?

[@Seingo]

I think it's ratio

[@Seingo]

NO IT'S DEFINITELY ORDINAL

[@motivatedU]

It's Interval scale

[@aidaeggo5794]

Ordinal

[@jacksonmarwa7020]

Great teaching! Bless you

[@lancefordable]

When entering the values for Gender or other Ordinal variables, should I enter the text (male or female) or 1 or 2 in SPSS ? Does enter one over the other in data view make the dataset harder / easier to manipulate ?

[@ResearchByDesign]

Either way will work ( M & F vs. 1 & 2 vs. 1 & 0). Using 1 & 0 will be best if you are going to be doing any kind of regression. If it is for a t-test, ANOVA, or just descriptive stats, either way will work. SPSS will treat the data as a factor.

[@tpinfinity749]

Early on, You ntion a tutorial You've made, concerning the content setup. I can't seem to see it in Your description though?

[@ResearchByDesign]

I am not certain which video you mean, but I will take a guess that it is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqG9dZ-Kpayen8k This is about How to Set Up Your Data for Independent or Repeated Measures t Tests in SPSS. If you are looking for something different, comment in another video and let me know. Cheers.

[@mahimasingh2152]

Awesome way to instruct, so clear and thankyou a tons❤

[@thanunagaraj3463]

Thank you very much sir for wonderful videos.... Kindly show us how to analyse data for pre test and post test scores

[@yahiameddah2739]

thank you for this helpful video ,I have problem to transform the data form excel to spss I found many missing values what can I do sir ?

[@ResearchByDesign]

To open Excel in SPSS, watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aojQgnWPbMl7ZpI. To deal with missing values, you need to do some form of imputation. I don't have a video about that. You need to fill in as many missing values as you can. Some people use the mean. If you have a pro version of SPSS, you will have a missing values function. Good luck.

[@mohiniarora1506]

If I am done with the free trial....will I still be able to open my work in spss or not

[@honeyhoney7109]

Best videos ever. Thank you so so much!!

[@ResearchByDesign]

You're so welcome!
