          <h2>SPSS</h2>  <!-- ================ The name of this page ++++++++++++-->

     

<p><i><b>SPSS</b></i> is a statistical package designed for the social sciences. It is available on Project Vincent and can be opened by entering the following commands.</p>

<pre>vincent% add spss
vincent% spss</pre>

<p>If you wish, you can run SPSS in a "batch mode" connect to a Project Vincent workstation using a program such as Hummingbird Telnet which is available from <a href="http://www.ait.iastate.edu/downloads/">Scout</a> in Durham Center.</p>

<p>To enter a SPSS program remotely, you need to use an editor such as emacs, joe, or vi to create a new SPSS program (the series of SPSS statements that you want to be executed.) The name of the file under which you stored these statements should be used in the command below (in place of prog1.spss).<br /></p>

<p>To run SPSS from a PC, try this:<br /></p>

<pre>% add spss
% spss -m &lt; prog1.spss &gt; prog1.list &amp;
</pre>

<p>The &amp; will run spss in background mode. When spss is done running, it will save the output in prog1.list. Then you can use a Unix "more" or "pg" command to look at the output, or you can use "emacs", "joe", or "vi" to selectively pick off the output you need for printing.</p>

<p>If SPSS complains about not having enough memory, you can ask for additional memory by including the -s option on the command. If you wanted 5 megabytes, the command would be:</p>

<pre>% spss -m &lt; prog1.spss &gt; prog1.list -s 5M &amp;</pre>
