This site is the result of a project that began with an idea in May 2005. The idea was to interview SPSS* experts in various world cities. The main content of the site is the six profiles, interviews and photographs of the six experts. In addition, you will find, for each expert, audio and video recordings, examples of their solutions to SPSS problems, some examples of their sense of humor and contact information.

* What is SPSS? [From Wikipedia] The computer program SPSS (originally, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was released in its first version in the 1960s, and is among the most widely-used programs for statistical analysis in social science. It is also used by market researchers, health researchers, survey companies, government, education researchers, and others. Data management (case selection, file reshaping, creating derived data) and data documentation (a metadata dictionary is stored with the data) are features of the base software.

The program comes in modules. It is always necessary to have the SPSS Base System. For more advanced analysis it is necessary to have additional modules.
