Split File Steps

1.

Click Data > Split File.

5.

Select The Option Compare Groups.

Transfer Age And Gender To Group Based On
When You Are Finished, Click Ok.
Result Will Be Displayed In

OUTPUT
We have selected gender wise for split analysis
INTERPRETATION
We can see in data view the females and males in split form.
Similarly ,we can split accordingly the income,height etc. Split file is
very important tools by which we can enlist all the different specialties
according to their given series.

SELECT CASES STEPS

CLICK > SELECT CASES

SELECT IF FUNCTION
CLICK ON IF CONDITION IS SATISFIED
CHOOSE ,GENDER =1 : FEMALES
CONTINUE
OK

OUTPUT
The females are appeared to be selected and new column has been
created
INTERPRETATION
These are used when the data is big and relevant data is required,
basically to sort the data.

CROSS TABS STEPS

To create a crosstab,

1. Click analyze > descriptive statistics > crosstabs

2. Move age and gender toward row and column
3 select ok

OUT PUT
The output will appear in output screen.
INTERPRETATION

Cross tabs have helped us in know the relationship between age and
gender.

DETAIL ABOUT TOPIC

ABOUT SPLIT FILE
MEANING
SPLIT FILE is a command for having separate output for subsets of
cases. (It does not literally split your file into smaller files.) Subsets are
defined by the values on one or more split variables. After
running SPLIT FILE, output is reported for each split group separately
until you run SPLIT FILE OFF.
SPSS Split File - Basic Use
Similarly to FILTER and WEIGHT,
commands:

Split

file

has three

main

1.

SPLIT FILE BY [...]. Switches it on or changes the variable(s)

defining the groups of cases.
2.
SHOW SPLIT FILE. Tells you which variable(s) define groups of
cases.
3.
SPLIT FILE OFF. Switches SPLIT FILE off.
SPSS SELECT IF Command
In SPSS, SELECT IF deletes cases (rows of data) that don't satisfy some
condition(s). Like so, SELECT IF basically means don't delete if ... A
minimal example is shown below.
SELECT IF V1 = 1.

CROSS TABS
To summarize a single categorical variable, we use frequency tables. To
summarize the relationship between two categorical variables, we use a
cross-tabulation (also called a contingency table). A cross-tabulation
(or crosstab for short) is a table that depicts the number of times each of
the possible category combinations occurred in the sample data.
USES
SPSS CROSSTABS produces contingency tables: frequencies for one
variable for each value of another variable separately. If assumptions are
met, a chi-square test may follow to test whether an association between
the variables is statistically significant.
