4 Two Ways to Use SPSS Drop-down menus Point-and-click Widely used Fraught with problems Tedious for long analyses Command syntax files Not commonly taught in college Provides more functionality Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 4
5 Pros and Cons Functionality Re-running Learning curve Debugging Documentation Long analyses All procedures Menu Harder Easier Harder Harder Harder No Command File Easier Harder Easier Easier Easier Yes Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 5
6 Quick Review of SPSS Windows Data editor See data Transform variables Output Results from commands, including tables, charts Chart editor Can edit graphs Syntax editor Write and execute SPSS commands Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 6
7 How To Write Command Files Paste from drop-down menus Menu choices generate syntax automatically Modify previous command file Write commands in text file Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 7
8 Creating Syntax From Menus Use drop-down menus but do not run Choose PASTE Creates a syntax window Save command file Run pasted commands Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 8
9 How to Save a Command File File-Save File extension:.sps Can use same name for data and sps files Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 9
10 How to Run a Command File Open command file File-Open Click on.sps file in Windows Explorer Highlight all or part of command file Run commands in one of several ways Click on right arrow Control-R Run-all Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 10
11 Some Command Syntax Details What is a command file? Command syntax structure Example of an SPSS command Some details of commands Common and important commands Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 11
12 What is a Command File? An ASCII text file Contains SPSS commands written out AKA syntax file Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 12
13 Command Syntax Structure Name of command May include some variable names May included some command options Name of subcommand May include variable names or command options Slashes used to start subcommands Can continue over multiple lines End command with a period or blank line Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 13
14 Example of an SPSS Command GET DATA / TYPE=XLS / FILE='c:\path\file_name.xls'. This is one command With two subcommands SPSS tries to use the Excel column heads as the variable names Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 14
15 Some Details of Commands Each command begins on a new line Variable names cannot be abbreviated Command may span lines Max line length: 80 characters Period or blank line terminates command Command syntax is case insensitive Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 15
16 Common & Important Commands Commands allow you to Get data Manipulate data List data Do statistical analyses Save data Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 16
17 Most Important Command Asterisk Identifies a comment line End comment with period or blank line * This is an example of a comment line. * The next two lines correct data errors. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 17
18 Compute Command Used to change values COMPUTE perscore = (score/60). COMPUTE composite = var1 + var2 + var3. COMPUTE average = composite / 3. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 18
19 IF IF (form = "A") zscore = (score 44.5)/6.5 Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 19
20 Create Ranks RANK VARIABLES = written oral ppt (A). Default is to create new variables rwritten roral rppt Can specify names of new variables (A) means ascending Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 20
21 Save SPSS Data File SAVE OUTFILE = 'c:\path\filename.sav'. SAVE OUTFILE = 'c:\path\filename.sav' / DROP ssn. SAVE OUTFILE = 'c:\path\filename.sav' / KEEP id lastname grade. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 21
22 TEMPORARY TEMPORARY. SELECT IF (eeo_gp = 1). LIST id written oral ppt /CASES = 15. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 22
23 SORT SORT CASES BY grade. LIST id lastname firstname grade. SORT CASES BY grade (A). Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 23
24 Variable Label VARIABLE LABEL failcol 'failed color vision'. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 24
25 Value Label VALUE LABEL eeo_gp 0 Unknown' 1 'Non-Minority' 2 'Minority'. VALUE LABEL eeo_gp 0 'Unknown' 1 'Non-Minority' 2 'Minority'. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 25
26 Save Non-SPSS Data File SAVE TRANSLATE OUTFILE = 'c:\path\filename.xls' /TYPE=XLS / KEEP id gender eeo_gp age compos /FIELDNAMES. This creates an Excel file with variable names for column heads. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 26
27 Statistical Commands Means Graph Correlation Many other commands Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 27
28 Means Command MEANS TABLES= oral written BY eeo_gp. This minimal command will work Commands have default settings MEANS TABLES= oral written BY eeo_gp / CELLS MEAN COUNT STDDEV. This command is more specific. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 28
29 Graph GRAPH /SCATTERPLOT(BIVAR)= oral WITH written /MISSING=LISTWISE /TITLE= 'Title goes here' 'line 2 of title goes here /SUBTITLE= 'sub title goes here /FOOTNOTE= 'footnote goes here 'line 2 footnote goes here'. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 29
30 Correlation CORRELATIONS /VARIABLES= oral written ppt /PRINT=TWOTAIL NOSIG /STATISTICS DESCRIPTIVES /MISSING=PAIRWISE. Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 30
31 Command File Example SPSS Program to Grade a Test (See separate pdf file.) Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 31
32 Tips for Using Command Files Documenting Debugging Use of capitalization Separate the major aspects of analyses Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 32
33 Document Your Files File name Date created Author Log of changes over time Outline file Visual divisions of file into sections Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 33
34 Debugging Debugging individual commands Debugging command logic Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 34
35 Debugging Individual Commands SPSS is very detail demanding Look for: Missing or extra quotation marks Unbalanced parentheses Missing periods Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 35
36 Debugging Command Logic Look at data at various points in the file List data Do crosstabulations Do analyses in another software package Excel SAS Minitab R Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 36

38 Separate the Major Aspects of Read and save Analyses Verify data is read correctly Groom data Transform variables Change numbers 1 to 4 to letters A to D Add variables Name of data set Analyze data Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 38
39 Name Various Files Use one basic name Keep track of all files related to one project For example: IPMAAC_2007.dat Read_IPMAAC_2007.sps Groom_IPMAAC_2007.sps Analyze_IPMAAC_2007.sps Similar system to name output files Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 39
40 Display Commands in Output Do this through menu Edit Options Select the Viewer or Draft Viewer tab Check the Display commands in the log Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 40
41 SPSS Training Resources SPSS built-in tutorial Help-Tutorial-Working with syntax SPSS help menu Help - Command Syntax Reference Full syntax options Gives examples States limitations SPSS website Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 41

45 Exercise 2 Get data from an Excel file Get average of oral and written z-scores Save data to an SPSS.sav file Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 45
46 Review Pros and cons of drop-down menu How to use command files Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 46
47 Drop-Down Menus Easy to get started Unwieldy for longer analyses Easy to make undetected errors Hard to proof analyses Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 47
48 How to Use Command Files Create files Edit files Save files Name files Run files Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 48
49 Summary Start using SPSS drop-down menus Next, paste menu commands Write command files as soon as possible This enables you to Do longer, more complex analyses Detect errors and proof analyses Wiesen (2007), IPMAAC Conference 49
