statistical Packages for Data Analysis
Data is currently the ‘new oil’ or a very hot commodity, and understanding the patterns and trends of data is now one of the focal areas of giant corporations. There are several data analytics tools, and choosing the right one may be challenging for new users. SPSS, which stands for Statistical Package for Social Sciences, is a beginner-friendly and user-friendly computer application for entering, analysing and visualising categorical and numerical data. It helps filter and model data into useful information.
