The introduction to SPSS Ⅱ.Tables and Graphs for one variable ---Descriptive Statistics & Graphs

Frequencies A good place to start looking at your data.

Frequencies  Select one or more categorical or quantitative variables.

Frequencies  Click Statistics for descriptive statistics for quantitative variables.

Frequencies  Click Charts for Bar charts, Pie charts, and Histograms. Also, you can create all the following charts in Graph. Quantitative variables Categorical variables

Frequencies  The display style.

Descriptives

Descriptives command provides the sample size, mean, std. deviation, minimum, maximum. If you were interested in another summary statistic, you could click on the Options button, and find several other available statistics.

Graphs

Graphs---Simple Bar chart  Creates a chart summarizing categories of a single variable. Bar height represent a function of either the category variable itself, or another summary variable.  Creates a chart summarizing two or more variables. There is one bar for each variable.  Creates a chart summarizing a single variable by individual cases. One categorical variable Two categorical variables

Graphs---Simple Bar chart Numeric or String variable How the data are represented on the scale axis. Categorical variable

Graphs---Simple Bar chart

A paneled chart is a grid of subcharts. The subcharts are of the same chart type and share axes, but for a different group of one or more categorical variables.

Graphs---Cluster Bar chart Categorical variables Select a cluster variable used to group bars.

Graphs--- Simple & Cluster Bar chart

Graphs---Stack Bar chart

Each stack consists of a bar divided into segments stacked on top of one another.

Graphs---Histogram A histogram groups the values of a variable into evenly spaced groups (intervals or bins) and plots a count of the number of cases in each group. The count can be expressed as a percentage.

Graphs---Interactive---Histogram

You can modify the min and max values shown on a histogram, as well as the interval width. This is particularly useful when outliers cause the majority of values to cluster in a few bars.

Graphs---Interactive---Histogram

Graphs---Boxplot Boxplots show the median, interquartile range, outliers, and extreme cases of individual variables.

Graphs--- Boxplot---groups of cases label outliers or extreme cases on the plot, otherwise, case number

Graphs--- Boxplot---groups of cases

Number of years using the Internet

Graphs---Boxplot---separate variable
