As of the moment, I am using a descriptive statistics as a method of analysis. I am thinking to use SPSS but i just need to know how to use it first. I hope you could help me with this.
If you intend to limit your analysis to descriptive statistics, then SPSS is an excellent tool, but so would many others, including simple Excel. That depends on the exact descriptive statistics that you intend to use.
Thank you very much Mr. Martin. I am still reluctant to use SPSS, but it hink Im going to get there once I got my sample data.
Ya you can use any of the software like SPSS, STATA, R or even MS excel for the descriptive statistics.
SPSS is quite easy software according to your requirements. When you got the data, you can ask help from me any time.
Thanks
Dear Reyl Espirituoso,
Before you think what kind of analysis you need to conduct, first you should know how many variables (independent variables, dependent variables and moderating/mediating variables if you have) you have in your model, what is the measurement level of these variables (interval, ration, ordinal or nominal) and what is the purpose of the analysis (your hypothesized relationship) In addition you should also know whether your variables repeated measured or once? Only then some advice can be offered. I suggest you stick with some simple software like Excel and SPSS .if you are new to research. If you have complex model or have time series data then you may use Eviews etc.
The decision pertaining to the use of particular analysis would be mainlydepends on the research question, objectives or hypothesis.
SPPS would be the best choice for both desriptive and inferential analysis.
I am very thankful to all of you Professors.
My update for this project 5 days ago included my proposal paper submitted to the Chancellor of our University and the Survey questionnaire. You can refer there. I think my research is a qualitative-quantitative nature. I have done a pre-survey today using 15 sample and now encoding it to an Excel sheet.
