LSYPE Data
Step 1: Access the SPSS Files To open the files you will need a recent version of the SPSS/PASW software. We recommend you click SAVE when downloading a dataset so that you can use and edit your own copy. There are two files: This is the main dataset which we will use for all of the examples and exercises on the site. It contains REAL anonymised data for 15,770 students and incorporates 57 variables. We encourage you to have a play with it, you never know it might inspire your own research! This is an adapted version of the dataset for use with Module 2: Multiple Linear Regression
Step 2: Work through our modules
We use our customised versions of the LSYPE for examples and exercises throughout the website. We heartily recommend you use them to follow us on our perilous journey through the world of regression analysis. You may even want to practice with the datasets on SPSS to get a really deep understanding...
Step 3: Register with the ESDS Our teaching datasets are also hosted by the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS) and are based on the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE). If you wish to access the full LSYPE dataset and a huge
selection of other social science datasets you will need to register for an account with the ESDS
