arrowDeciding which modules to add to SPSS

IBM SPSS Statistics comes in the form of a base system, but you can acquire additional modules to add on to that system. If you’ve installed a full system, you may already have some of these add-ons. Most are integrated and look like integral parts of the base system. Some may be of no interest to you; others could become indispensable. Note that if you have a trial copy of SPSS, it likely has all the modules, including those that you might lose access to when you acquire your own copy. This chapter introduces you to the modules that can be added to SPSS and what they do; refer to the documentation that comes with each one for a full tutorial.
