Useful links about software

SAS and SPSS are available in all the CIRCA labs, such as CSE 211.

SPSS:

A student version of SPSS is available at the UF Bookstore next to Reitz Union. You can get it more cheaply for your home PC with a one-year license through the Student Home-Use Program. You may prefer to use the full-fledged version of SPSS in CIRCA labs.

When getting started, it can be helpful to use a primer such as "SPSS for Windows Step by Step" by D. George and P. Mallery.

Here are some basic instructions for using SPSS and SAS for various statistical analyses (pdf file). The first half deals with SPSS. This is a revised version of the appendix in the course text, and is being updated for the fourth edition. Please point out any errors you notice.
