Hi, this is a question about the functioning of the subcommand /IMPORTCASE=PERCENT %. PSPP just choose the percentage of the first cases of the file, On the other hand, SPSS randomly choose the percentage of cases in the data file.
The difference between FIRST and PERCENT subtype is that the second randomizes the data. In the unlikely event of having a file of 100 cases, PSPP generate the same data file using the subcommand: /IMPORTCASE=FIRST 50 & /IMPORTCASE=PERCENT 50. Is this a deliberate behavior? In my case, I use the PERCENT subtype to create multiple data files with random cases from the same source. cheers CJT _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
