Statistics Computing Tip Sheets
These tip sheets have been produced to complement the Statistical Advisory Service: they describe how to implement various statistical techniques in the packages Minitab and PASW(SPSS). The sheets and data files can be downloaded here.
This project was funded by the generosity of alumni donations to the Annual Fund.
If you require statistical advice then please visit the Statistical Advisory Service.
If you would like to download a tutorial on Minitab, PASW(SPSS), Genstat or SAS, then visit the "Packages tutorials" area of this website, and follow the instructions for self-enrolling on a Blackboard Organisation. There you will find tutorials on these four packages, and additional help for working through them.
