DESCRIPTION:
Computing means in SPSS is pretty straightforward but there's a couple of things you should know such as
-how do different functions handle missing values?
-how to exclude cases that have too many missing values?
-why should I use commas instead of spaces between variable names?
In this video, I'll slowly walk you the basics, tricks and pitfalls regarding means in SPSS. Since we'll use a very tiny data file, we'll easily see how things work.
