There is so much data flying around nowadays, and if you aren't skilled at understanding and extracting information from it, it can be hard to even know where to start. IBM SPSS Statistics is a powerful tool for transforming your raw data into meaningful insight. It's available as a web-based software or as an app that allows you to access your work anywhere and on any device. So, if you're looking to get to the bottom of your data, this simple-to-use program will help you get there. Because IBM SPSS Statistics is web-based software, it requires an internet connection to use. However, there is a local version available as well so that you can do your work without an internet connection. All you'll need is a program such as Wine or VMware Fusion on your computer so that you can run the program in a virtual environment. We found the interface pretty intuitive and easy to use and we were able to import our data and start analyzing it with just a few clicks of the mouse. The program's interface is broken into three panes. The top pane gives you an overview of your data, the left-hand pane allows you to select which variables you want to use in your analysis, and the right-hand pane gives you a preview of the results. The bottom section includes tabs for managing your work, including importing data sets, creating new variables, creating new studies, and publishing your work. Although IBM SPSS Statistics has a solid set of features, it does have its limitations. For example, if your data source is Excel or another text file you'll need to export it in SPSS format using the Data Transformation task or Data Import Wizard. In addition, there may be a learning curve for users who are new to SPSS or statistics in general. Another issue we found with the software was that, depending on your operating system, you may have limited access to the scheduling and collaboration features of this program. On Windows, you can only collaborate with other Windows users and schedule your work for a limited duration—the schedule expires if you don't log-in every day. On Mac OSX and Linux, scheduling is available but collaboration isn't. Although it offers a solid set of features and easy-to-use interface, IBM SPSS Statistics has its limitations. If you're looking to analyze your data with statistics software, you may want to check out alternatives like R, SAS, or Stata. However, if you're comfortable with SPSS and would like the convenience of working in the cloud, this software may be right for you. Since it's available as an app for your mobile device or through a web browser, you can access it anywhere. Just keep in mind that if your college offers other programs for statistical analysis you'll need to contact them to find out what they support. 8eeb4e9f32 16
