Finding & Excluding Outliers in SPSS I - Histograms

DESCRIPTION:

Histograms tell you everything you want to know about quantitative variables:

-are the distributions even plausible in the first place?
-are there any outliers?
-and what about missing values?

In this SPSS beginners video, you'll learn the fast way to run histograms in SPSS for detecting outliers.

Next up, we'll exclude (ranges of) values by setting them as user missing values and recheck our data.

Hope it helps!
