Hi! Here's hoping the collective wisdom of the Net can help out again.
I'm doing a volunteer project that involves figuring out what the answers
to a survey mean. I'm sitting in front of a stack of 300 survey responses.
There are 40 questions, most with simple pick-one-of-several answers, a
few with pick-any-of-the-following-10-choices answers. A very few have
numeric responses (age, # people in household).
I'd like to find all statistically significant two-way correlations in this
data. I've written a simple dBase program that will make entering the data
easy.
THE QUESTION: Is there a statistical package out there that will make my
life easy in this project? At this point, I really don't care about fancy
graphs and other stuff like that. Correlations are necessary. A dBase
interface would be nice. Handling text (vs. numeric) data is pretty important.
Any opinions would be *much* appreciated, soon. I'll summarize whatever I
learn (from the Net or elsewhere) if there is any interest.
Thanks!
Pete
