Abstract
This paper will demonstrate the power
of SPSS(c) that enables researchers
from other disciplines particularly
those who does not have the mathematical
skills to perform inferential
statistics.
We shall describe the applications
of SPSS(c) to the two different
areas of research which were done
with some consultations with the
author: (1) the impact of the
community-oriented policing system
on the peace-process and security
maintenance efforts of the Philippine
National Police, and (2) a study
on the effect of epidural analgesia
on prolonged labor and operative
delivery.
