SPSS is a popular statistical software package used for data management and analysis. It allows users to perform complex calculations and analyses with simple commands. The default window contains a data editor with two views - the data view shows raw data while the variable view describes each variable. SPSS can analyze different scales of measurement like nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. Common analyses introduced include frequencies, descriptives to find averages and standard deviations, linear regression, t-tests to compare groups, and graphs to visualize results.
