Analytics Archive by category "SPSS" (Page 2)

Category: SPSS

SPSS Statistics is a software package used for statistical analysis. Long produced by SPSS Inc., it was acquired by IBM in 2009. The current versions (2015) are officially named IBM SPSS Statistics. Companion products in the same family are used for survey authoring and deployment (IBM SPSS Data Collection), data mining (IBM SPSS Modeler), text analytics, and collaboration and deployment (batch and automated scoring services).
The software name originally stood for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS),[2] reflecting the original market, although the software is now popular in other fields as well, including the health sciences and marketing.

I have a ton of macros in SPSS which greatly simplify the front-end however I’ve always preferred Excel graphs to SPSS (because they don’t look like they were drawn with crayons).

Great use of GIS data to decide your next business location

GIS Data

Years ago I helped a company that worked in the financial industry review where their current locations are and where FDIC Banks were located. The GIS data was available for free from the FDIC. If you spend some time you can merged the files together and look at it longitudinally. The below map was particularly helpful in deciding where a new branch/office should be located. I also imported the locations of competitors however I cannot share this data as it is too revealing.

I used Microsoft’s MapPoint to create the below map. It is no longer with us however this would be easy to repeat with Google Maps.

Here’s a great book to get ideas on conveying data visually

Using Hotstrings to help utilized custom SPSS scripts

Using Hotstrings from AutoHotKey help write your code is a great, easy, way to greatly improve your speed! This example demonstrates me using hotstrings for writing most of which are actually custom SPSS scripts) which typically affect the look of output. The newer versions of AutoHotKey now utilized Python for their scripting. Most of mine were written in SAX Basic. I’d post the code but it is unlikely they will work for you.

Scripts are easy to use and adaptable to make output much more meaningful and in a format ready to be used. AutoHotKey helps write syntax to utilize the scripts.
