1 STAT X400 (2 semester units in Statistics) Business, Technology & Engineering Technology & Information Management Quantitative Analysis & Analytics Course Description This course introduces students to the basic practice of statistics by using SPSS Statistics, a statistical software program designed for data management and data analysis. The goal is to familiarize students with the workings of SPSS and to teach them how to perform basic statistical analyses with SPSS. The course will focus on database management tasks, descriptive statistics and graphics, and basic inferential statistics. This is a hands-on class: students will explore and analyze real-world data sets using the tools provided by SPSS. The focus of this course will be data not formulas, recipes or derivations. In class, following the instructor s lead, students will produce a variety of statistics that are usually included in an introductory undergraduate course. They will work in groups and be asked to interpret data sets provided for instruction. The process will be: explore the data, use the appropriate statistical method to answer the research question, interpret the SPSS output and present the results. At the end of this course, students should be equipped to study more advanced statistical techniques and explore other functionalities available in SPSS not covered in this course. Learning Objectives When students have completed this course, they will: 1. use the graphical user interface of SPSS 2. perform a number of useful data management tasks 3. write some basic syntax and know how to obtain syntax 4. generate numerical and graphical summaries for variables 5. perform inferential statistical tests 6. define fundamental statistical terms and concepts used in research 7. avoid common misuses and misinterpretations of statistical results 8. acquire an understanding of how statistical methods are selected Intended Audience The course is intended for those who are new to statistics or need a refresher and would like to gain an understanding of the basic notions that underlie statistical thinking through realistic examples, while at the same time learning how to use SPSS, one of the leading statistical software programs used in academia, government, and industry. This 1
2 class is meant to meet the needs of those who are seeking entry-level positions, and of those who want to move forward in their career by broadening their analytical skills. Prerequisites No particular requisite is required for this course, although some basic notion of quantitative data (i.e. being comfortable with numbers) and a general familiarity with the Windows (or Mac) operating system are necessary. Students should come to class with SPSS (preferably, version 12.0 or higher) preloaded on their laptop. Registered students who do not already have SPSS can lease the software for 6 months (or longer) by going to and selecting IBM SPSS GradPack for Windows or Mac. Course Contents 1. The SPSS Environment (Meeting 1) Data, syntax and output windows, multiple instances of each and the designated window; the Help Menu. SPSS Data Editor: creating a data file The Editor s Data View: entering data manually, opening an existing database (SPSS format v. other file formats), saving an SPSS data file into another file format The Data Editor s Variable View: variable names and labels, value label, variable types, data formatting, and other formatting issues; displaying data file information; annotating data file; coding missing data. Data Management: modifying an existing database (adding/deleting variables, cases); sorting; computing new variables based on existing ones; recoding existing categorical variables; filtering cases. SPSS Syntax: what is syntax (commands, subcommands, and keywords); syntax vs. the menu system; generating syntax automatically and manually; including comments (documenting your work); executing commands. SPSS Output Viewer: navigating through the output: viewing results; two panes (outline and results); exporting the output (file format options).

Textbook Chapter 23: Building Regression Models Textbook Chapter 24: Multiple Regression Diagnostics Methods of Instruction This is a hands-on class. Students will perform tasks as the instructor is demonstrating them. Therefore students should bring their laptop in class. The instructor will demonstrate (using the Windows version of the software) the various tasks while students will be asked to follow along on their computers. Outside of class, students will read assigned chapters from the textbook and will be given homework to familiarize themselves with both SPSS and the basic practice of statistics. Credit Requirements To earn credit in this course, students must receive a passing grade on both their homework and final class project. Students will be assigned homework weekly. There will also be an in-class midterm exam, which is mandatory for those who are taking this course for credit. The class project will count as the final. It is due on the last day of class. Students are asked to analyze a real-world data set. The (non-spss) data file will be provided after the third meeting, as well as the instructions regarding what students are expected to do. They will have to submit a report in which they will describe data management tasks, perform exploratory data analyses (generate numerical and graphical summaries of variables), state hypotheses in statistical terms, describe the statistical techniques they used, discuss whether the assumptions underlying the techniques were or were not met, present the results and their conclusions discussing both statistical issues and substantive topics as defined by the research hypotheses. Students will be expected to use statistical techniques learned up to and including Meeting 8. Deliverables: the report and the project data set. The final project will be evaluated based on the ten tasks described in the instructions, which include importing data into SPSS, performing exploratory data analysis, categorical data analysis and comparative analyses on a scale variable. Deliverables for the homework will be specified in the document describing the weekly assignment. All homework is due by 5PM on the day of the next class. Late homework, including the final project, will have 20% of its points deducted automatically unless UC Berkeley Extension STAT X400 5
6 the student asked for and was granted an extension by the instructor. Homework must be ed to the instructor. The homework reports should follow these rules: File format: pdf; document format: double-spaced; Times-New-Roman 12 font. Grades on the homework will be distributed at the next class meeting. A website has been created for this course (the URL will be given in class). There students will download the syllabus, the data sets for in-class instruction, the lecture notes and the homework assignments. The data sets and the lecture notes will be posted before each class meeting. The homework assignment will be posted for students to download soon after each meeting; the previous homework s answers and explanations will also be provided to students.
