SPSS USERS MEETING – STATISTICS COURSES AND TALKS

SPSS USERS MEETING – STATISTICS COURSES AND TALKS

A day of a one-day and two half-day courses using IBM SPSS Statistics together with three user presentations comprise a one-day IBM SPSS Statistics users (ASSESS) conference. The ASSESS users group has experience in organising such events covering 30 years and feature teachers who are experienced in communicating statistics and aspects of computing to non-statisticians.

The one day course will introduce methods of using IBM SPSS Statistics to handling missing values to enable users to maximiseinformation in their data.
A morning one-day course will introduce introduce the exciting area of multilevel modelling to people new to this area but who are familiar with regression. An afternoon half day course will introduce SPSS syntax. In between these course sessions will be three plenary talks given by SPSS users giving case studies on the course topics (one talk each on multilevel models and missing values and one on SPSS software updates).

Delegates may choose to attend a single morning session (morning course and two talks) and/or a single afternoon users (one talk and afternoon course).  Come along to learn more about current and upcoming uses of IBM SPSS Statistics including the performing of statistical analyses in fields of applications. Learn when these models should be used, how to implement statistical routines in IBM SPSS Statistics using real data to make policy decisions, problems associated with their use and how to interpret and understand output to identify client behaviour. See software demonstrations, share experiences with other users and plan for future meetings.  Coffee breaks are included. Lunch is also included if attending both morning ANDafternoon sessions.

Keywords: Types of missing data; underlying assumptions of missing data methods; imputation

The course is suitable for academics or established professionals for continuing professional development in understanding the invalid and misleading conclusions that can be drawn by ignoring missing data and methods of handling them.  It is alsosuitable for PhD students who will be or are using quantitative methods in their research. You should have some prior knowledge of performing statistical analyses in SPSS. A memory stick containing a printable workbook of examples is provided together with refreshments. There will also be three plenary case study talks, one by a member of IBM SPSS using missing values in IBM SPSS, and two others on their use of multilevel models, in between the morning and afternoon course sessions.

Lunch is also included if attending both a morning AND afternoon session otherwise is available on request.

AN INTRODUCTION TO MULTILEVEL MODELS IN IBM SPSS

Keywords: Handling incomplete cases; random intercept models; interpretation of output

This a practical introduction to the use of a rapidly expanding area of statistics in many fields including social, medical and ecological studies. Knowledge of using regression models is an advantage.  A memory stick containing IBM SPSS Statistics files and a printable workbook of examples is provided together with refreshments.  There will also be a plenary talk by an IBM SPSS user giving a case study using multilevel models in IBM SPSS prior to this course at the start of the afternoon session. Lunch is also included if attending both a morning AND afternoon workshop or users session otherwise is available on request.

FIRST STEPS IN IBM SPSS
HALF-DAY PARALLEL WORKSHOP 2-10PM TO (APPROX.) 4-30PM
ALCUIN RESEARCH RESOURCE CENTRE
UNIVERSITY OF YORK, YORK

Keywords: Data input; descriptive statistics; data management

This course aims to introduce the command language in SPSS to make the most of the features available in SPSS. SPSS syntax allows you to produce an audit trail of what you have done, allows commands to be stored and run as often as needed to efficiently run interactively various commonly needed operations involving data management, production of summary measures in tables and as extra variables in the data file.
A memory stick containing IBM SPSS Statistics files and a printable workbook of examples is provided together with refreshments.  There will also be a plenary talk by an IBM SPSS user giving a case study using multilevel models in IBM SPSS prior to this course at the start of the afternoon session. Lunch is also included if attending both a morning AND afternoon workshop or users session otherwise is available on request.
