SPSS
Researcher's number toolkit
SPSS is a software package widely used for statistical analysis, particularly in the social sciences, market research, and health research.
The name originally stood for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, though the company later rebranded it as Statistical Product and Service Solutions before IBM acquired it.
Researchers use SPSS to run analyses ranging from basic descriptive statistics to complex multivariate procedures.
The survey data was analyzed using SPSS.
