02. Video Tutorials (2)

Resource type Create dummy variables from an existing categorical variable in SPSS
This video explains how to use SPSS to dummy code categorical variables. Often, this is required if you want to use the variable in regression, but it has more than 2 categories. This resource is contributed to the statstutor Community project by Christine Pereira, Brunel University and reviewed by Vikki O'Neill, Queen's University Belfast.
Resource type Simple Linear Regression - Video Tutorial with Dr Iain Weir
In this video Dr Iain Weir (University of the West of England) introduces Simple Linear Regression. A written introduction using the same examples is available as a Quick Reference resource at this site. You could also use the Test Yourself Quiz after reviewing this video.
