ASSESS is an independent user led group for IBM SPSS Statistics,

a computer package for analysing and presenting data. Recent ASSESS workshop

topics include IBM SPSS Statistics syntax,

Logistic regression and Hospital Episode Statistics.

Two workshops together with a day of IBM SPSS Statistics User presentations are provisionally planned to be held

at the Alcuin Research Resource Centre, University of York, on Friday 25TH OCTOBER 2019.

The workshops will be taught in an interactive hands-on workshop-style format,

with frequent examples. All example files and notes will be given to all workshop attenders

(on USB sticks). There will also be printed handouts at the user talk sessions but not

for the workshops. In addition there will be a plenary talks on course topics open to

which will take place between the morning and afternoon parallel course sessions.

The Centre for Applied Statistics is based at University College London. A member will lead the 'missing data' course. This course is aimed at anyone who encounters missing data as part of their research. It introduces understanding the invalid and misleading conclusions that can be drawn by ignoring missing data and methods of handling them.

Laszlo Horvath and Raluca Popp are associate lecturers in quantitative politics members at the University

of Exeter and teach statistics courses as part of the Q-Step data analysis workshop series. Their multilevel

morning course is aimed at people already familiar with regression.

Helen Gray from the school of education at the University of Durham will lead the SPSS syntax afternoon course

aimed at people new to syntax.

The booking fee includes a coffee break mid-morning and mid-afternoon but not overnight accommodation.

A buffet lunch is available and is included for those attending both a morning and

an afternoon event. Further details will be sent to delegates upon receipt of booking forms.
