SPSS 13.0 is a comprehensive system for analyzing data. SPSS can take data from almost any type of file and use them to generate tabulated reports, charts and plots of distributions and trends, descriptive statistics, and complex statistical analyses.
This manual, the SPSS® Base 13.0 User's Guide, documents the graphical user interface of SPSS for Windows. Examples using the statistical procedures found in SPSS Base 13.0 are provided in the Help system, installed with the software. Algorithms used in the statistical procedures are available on the product CD-ROM.
In addition, beneath the menus and dialog boxes, SPSS uses a command language. Some extended features of the system can be accessed only via command syntax. (Those features are not available in the Student Version.) Complete command syntax is documented in the SPSS 13.0 Command Syntax Reference, available on the Help menu.
