SPSS is a statistical analysis software that supports data processing, data analysis, and data visualization. Its biggest feature is its user-friendly interface. SPSS has been widely used in social sciences, so what is cross validation? Cross validation is a multidimensional data analysis method that allows for the cross combination of multiple variables to generate two-dimensional or multidimensional analysis tables, thereby demonstrating the correlations and potential patterns between variables.
How to use SPSS cross validation method?
In order to help everyone better understand the cross validation method, I will demonstrate the detailed operation steps of the validation method through practical cases.
1. Open the data file. As shown in the figure, when we enter the main interface of SPSS, click on the 【 File 】 tab in the upper left corner, and use the 【 Open Data 】 or 【 Import Data 】 commands to import the data document that needs to be analyzed into SPSS.
Figure 1: Open Data File
2. Descriptive statistics - Cross tabulation. After successful data import, switch to the 'Analysis' tab and use the' Description Statistics - Cross tabulation 'command.
Figure 2: Descriptive statistics - Cross tabulation
3. Set up a cross table. After the cross table settings window pops up, we select two types of variables from the variable selection box on the left as the 'Row, Column' options for the cross table, and drag them to the selection box on the right.

4. Accurate setting. Then click the [Precision] button to enter its settings window, where we can set the methods for precision testing, including [asymptotic method only, Monte Carlo method, and precision method].

5. Statistical settings. After entering the statistics settings interface, we can set options such as' method ',' name ', and' interval 'for statistics.
Figure 5: Statistical Settings
6. Cell settings. After entering the cell settings interface, we can customize the counting format, percentage representation, residuals, and non integer weights.

7. Other settings. After completing the above settings, we will return to the main settings interface, check the "Display Cluster Bar Chart" option below, and then click the "OK" command at the bottom to start cross tabulation analysis.

How to understand SPSS cross analysis?
After explaining the detailed operation process of cross validation, I will now explain how to interpret the analysis results of cross validation.
1. Percentage of individual cases. As shown in the figure, after completing the cross analysis settings, wait for a moment and the corresponding result viewer will pop up. From the result viewer, a complete cross tabulation can be seen, which includes the percentage of various case numbers in the overall data.

2. Significance. In addition, we can also find the chi square test analysis chart in the analysis results to view the level of asymptotic significance. If the significance is less than 0.05, it indicates that the data analysis results have high validity and there is a significant correlation between variables; On the contrary, it represents low validity and weak correlation.

SPSS has a user-friendly graphical menu driven interface, which is easy to operate. Users do not need programming skills and can complete most operations through menus, buttons, and dialog boxes, reducing the threshold for use. SPSS has powerful functions, covering data management, descriptive statistics, mean comparison, regression analysis, cluster analysis, factor analysis, time series analysis, and many other statistical analysis processes, which can meet the diverse analysis needs of different users from basic to advanced.
At the same time, it supports data import in various common formats, such as Excel, CSV, etc., and the output results can be directly generated into beautiful charts. It also supports exporting in HTML, PDF, and other formats, making it convenient for users to visualize data and generate reports. In addition, SPSS also provides modular selection, allowing users to flexibly configure according to their needs and improve usage efficiency.
