This tutorial explains the definition of One Variable Chi-square, and provides examples for it. Two types of one variable chi-square There are two possible ways of using chi-square tests: Chi-square goodness of fit test: It tests the difference between the observed count values and the expected count values. (see discussion here.) Chi-square test of independence: … Read more
This tutorial shows how you can do logistic regression in SPSS step by step. Logistic regression is a model testing the relationship between Y (which is a binary variable) and X (X can be more than one). logistic regression is also called logit regression. In this tutorial, we are going to use a dataset posted on the UCLA … Read more
This tutorial shows how to do multiple linear regression in SPSS. Different from simple linear regression, multiple linear regression has more than 2 or more independent variables (i.e., multiple Xs). In this tutorial, we test if students’ writing scores and math scores can be used to predict reading scores. Read = b0 + b1 Write + b2 Math … Read more
This tutorial shows how to do simple linear regression in SPSS step by step. Simple linear regression estimates the linear relationship between one independent variable and one dependent. In this tutorial, we test whether students’ writing scores can be used to predict reading scores. Read = b0 + b1 Write This dataset in this tutorial … Read more
This tutorial shows how to add label values via SPSS syntax. Such label values can tell readers what these numbers actually represent. In SPSS, you can use the menu to add label values (see the window below). However, you can also achieve the same results by using syntax. Add Label Values via SPSS Syntax The … Read more
This tutorial shows the steps of how you can do two-way ANOVA in SPSS. A two-way ANOVA is used to estimate how a quantitative variable (i.e., Y) changes according to the levels of two categorical variables (X1 and X2). This tutorial uses hypothetical data of brand (X1) and City (X2) and sales as Y. You can download … Read more
