Python is Fully Case Sensitive SPSS is mostly case insensitive; if we have a variable “gender”, we can address it in syntax as gender or GENDER or anything in between. […]
So how does Python for SPSS actually work? First off, a distinction is often made between SPSS Python programmability and SPSS Python scripting. They work similarly in that some Python code is included in SPSS syntax; SPSS passes this Python code on to Python; Python may then look up information in SPSS such as variable names in the dataset or tables in the output window; […]

In ANOVA, we always report the F-value, degrees of freedom (df) and p for each effect -possibly just one for one-way ANOVA. P (“Sig.” in SPSS) tells us the likelihood of some effect being zero in our population. However, it doesn’t tell us how strong some effect is if it is not zero; we can’t conclude that p = 0.05 indicates a […]
