R for SPSS Users : A Short Course

Informations générales

• Type : Stage
• Thème : Informatique et systèmes d'information
• Compétences visées : Enseignement

Objectifs

Over the years, we’ve gotten many requests for short introductory courses. Today we are proud to introduce
R for SPSS Users. In just 8 hours (over 2 days), you will learn how to convert SPSS workflow into R code
from the perspective of an instructor who is a long-time user of both programs. We hope you enjoy the
course.
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 recognize processes and workflow common to SPSS users.
 

Programme

This course 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 modeling in R
• Manipulating and cleaning data
