    <p>SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is a proprietary cross-platform general-purpose statistical software package. Originally released in 1968, it is currently owned by IBM. <a href="http://www.spss.com/" rel="nofollow">SPSS's homepage</a></p> <p>Versions 17 and 18 of SPSS were renamed with the acronym PASW (for Predictive Analytics SoftWare), but with version 19 it has been renamed to SPSS (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPSS" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> for a history of the name changes). One unique aspect of SPSS software compared to other popular propriety software packages (such as Stata or SAS) is the built in functionality to call Python or R commands within syntax. Otherwise it is largely comparable to other general proprietary and freeware packages (such as R), although it differs in some advanced statistical capabilities and aspects of data manipulation.</p> <p>Suggested readings on using SPSS and learning the command syntax are two online PDF's.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.spss.com/sites/dm-book/" rel="nofollow">Programming and Data Management for IBM Statistics</a></li> <li><a href="http://szoc.tarstud.hu/upload/szoc_szakirany_programmingwithspsssyntaxandmacros.pdf" rel="nofollow">Programming with SPSS Syntax and Macros</a></li> </ul> <p>Other useful print versions are</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=mf8pEAAzN4gC&amp;dq=An+Intermediate+Guide+to+SPSS+Programming:+Using+Syntax+for+Data+Management&amp;source=gbs_navlinks_s" rel="nofollow">An Intermediate Guide to SPSS Programming: Using Syntax for Data Management</a> by Sarah Boslaugh (For Data Management)</li> <li><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=a6FLF1YOqtsC&amp;dq=discovering+statistics+using+SPSS&amp;source=gbs_navlinks_s" rel="nofollow">Discovering statistics using SPSS</a> by Andy Field (For Statistical Analysis)</li> </ul> <p>Other forums entirely devoted to the software are (and suggested material to search when encountering a problem with SPSS are):</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://spssx-discussion.1045642.n5.nabble.com/" rel="nofollow">University of Georgia SPSSX discussion list</a></li> <li><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.stat.spss/topics" rel="nofollow">SPSS google group forum</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral" rel="nofollow">SPSS developer central</a></li> </ul> <p>Other suggested webpages are </p> <ul> <li>UCLA's Academic Technology Services <a href="http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/spss/" rel="nofollow">SPSS Resources webpage</a></li> <li><a href="http://spsstools.net/" rel="nofollow">Raynald's SPSS tools</a></li> <li><a href="https://sites.google.com/a/lakeheadu.ca/bweaver/Home/statistics/spss/my-spss-page" rel="nofollow">Bruce Weaver's SPSS page</a></li> <li><a href="http://jeromyanglim.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jeromy Anglim's blog</a></li> </ul> <p><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/" rel="nofollow">PSPP</a> is a free-ware, open source alternative largely mimicking the look and functionality of SPSS.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
