Multivariate Statistics. VOLUME II. Interdependent Techniques with SPSS in the Social Sciences
Keywords:
multivariate statistics, interdependent techniques, SPSS, social sciencesSynopsis
With greater computing capabilities and resource availability today, multivariate analysis is now featured in several software applications, increasing its potential use across various disciplines such as Administrative Sciences. Some of the most widely used software in both academic and professional fields worldwide include the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, by IBM), Analytics, Business Intelligence and Data Management (SAS, by SAS Institute and/or World Programming), Statistica (by STATISTICA), and the R language (open-source software), to name a few.
Therefore, it is not surprising that in Social Sciences, there is an increasing trend in the publication of reports, articles, book chapters, or books that discuss various theoretical and empirical aspects and their interpretation based on these software applications.
In our case, we adopted IBM SPSS 20 for the development of the topics in this book. Based on this, we present this work with the main objectives:
-
To present a document that serves both those familiar and unfamiliar with the topic, who need to understand both the concepts addressed in this volume and how to manipulate the various commands offered by IBM SPSS 20 regarding the example problem cases presented.
-
For a better understanding of case treatments, we follow the sequence proposed by Hair et al. (1999) of the six steps: objectives, design, assumptions, execution, interpretation, and validation, as the axis for presenting and resolving these cases.
-
The basic development of techniques such as factor analysis, multidimensional analysis, correspondence analysis, and cluster analysis.
The author hopes to contribute to the reader's acquisition of knowledge that can be applied in the practical world and aid in its theoretical interpretation. If this is not the case, it is hoped that at least it will serve as another useful step in achieving their academic and/or professional development.
