✦ Synopsis

1. SPSS Inc., — 594 p.
   Experienced data analysts know that a successful analysis or meaningful report often requires more work in acquiring, merging, and transforming data than in specifying the analysis or report itself. SPSS Statistics contains powerful tools for accomplishing and automating these tasks. While much of this capability is available through the graphical user interface, many of the most powerful features are available only through command syntax—and you can make the programming features of its command syntax significantly more powerful by adding the ability to combine it with a full-featured programming language. This book offers many examples of the kinds of things that you can accomplish using command syntax by itself and in combination with other programming language.
