Description

SPSS, which stands for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, is a software suite used for statistical analysis, data management, and data mining. It's widely used in various fields, including social sciences, market research, and healthcare, for analysing quantitative data. This software are being used by School of Psychology. Version1 is the sole supplier of this software in the UK (as confirmed the IBM company). It came to the University's attention that there is a business arrangement between IBM and the business partner which makes SPSS product will no longer be referenced directly on correspondence but will instead be identified as part of the wider APAD solution. The University is looking to renew the current SPSS Statistics Premium (now APAD Gold Maximum) and Amos (now APAD Titanium)
