Kursbeskrivning: IBM SPSS Data Collection Scripting: (Survey Creation) Level II

IBM SPSS Data Collection Scripting: (Survey Creation) Level II is an intermediate level, two day, instructor-led classroom course for advanced scriptwriters that builds on their core interview scripting knowledge by providing more involved and intricate solutions to everyday survey scenarios and methodologies. It teaches a top-down approach to Survey Creation by adding tools, techniques and ideas to their portfolio and opening up the world of Application building rather than thinking of a survey as being the be-all and end-all of their opportunities with Data Collection. The course covers three broad themes: programming techniques, interview operation, and building bespoke applications.
