An 8-Hour Livestream Seminar Taught by Christopher L. Aberson, Ph.D.
SPSS users in the social sciences and other fields are migrating to R. However, R approaches sometimes do not address common tasks relevant to SPSS users or a recognition of processes and workflow common to SPSS users.
This course will provide guidance in converting from SPSS to R from the perspective of an instructor who is a long-time user of both programs. We will address the following issues:
- How does SPSS terminology correspond to R terminology (i.e., translations between the two approaches)
- How to import data from major software packages
- Basic differences between the R environment and SPSS
- How to perform common SPSS data visualizations, analyses, and modelling in R.
- Manipulating and cleaning data
This course addresses these issues and numerous practical one that allow attendees to move seamlessly from SPSS to R.
This course takes the perspective of the SPSS user. SPSS users know how to carry out their preferred analyses in SPSS. However, in moving to R, analysis approaches, workflows, and output often differ from R defaults. This course teaches you how to derive all of statistics common to SPSS (and commonly reported) in R.
This course is hands-on. There are regular exercises to ensure understanding and online help for those who get stuck. You are encouraged to bring your own data and post questions about translating your SPSS-focused analyses to R.
This seminar will familiarize you with using R through the RStudio interface and demonstrate how to smoothly transition to working in the R environment. You will leave with course materials including detailed examples of all common social science analyses and approaches.
