t-score & z-score

[AR-4]

Dear list.
    Can someone tell me how can I compute z and t scores for  variables
in spss 13?

Thank you.

z scores are a byproduct of DESCRIPTIVES with the subcommand SAVE.Now  t scores? I do not know.

T-scores are derived from z-scores (the z used in the formula below).

COMPUTE t = 10z + 50.

Dear AR,

Z scores can be saved as a part of the DESCRIPTIVES command.

Do you mean "t score" or "T score"?   T scores are standard scores computed
so:  50 + z 10

t-scores are used to test hypotheses when the population standard deviation
is unknown (as in Student's t), not to compute standardized scores.

HTH,

Steve

Thank you very much for your help, it's really helpful!.
(I meant standard scores, I'm not testing hypotheses.)

I've been off the list for a while.

Has anyone been able to run V. 11.x Mac SPSS on the Mac 10.5
"Leopard" OS?

For a number of reasons I prefer this version to the new V. 16, and
was able to run it under OS 10.4.11 on an Intel macbook.

regards,
Ian

Since the DOS days I've been using the following formula to calculate T Scores from raw scores in SPSS:

Compute Tscore = ((raw score - Mean) / SD) * 10 + 50.  

Now all of a sudden SPSS is telling me that it's an incomplete equation and cannot run it. I must be typo blind but I can't see anything off. Any Ideas?

Thanks, Joe Reimann

If you're running that exact line of syntax, the space in the middle of "raw score" will cause a problem.
