Not to be a wet blanket you can easily learn but the pudding is in the eating

SPSS ni learn on the go. Kama mimi nilivyoitumia mara ya kwanza nilisoma tu help as I was going along.

Wanted to put the same across

  1. SAS or R are more prevalent (R since basic tools are shareware)
  2. Can you learn? See above.
