See: http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/faq.html#Merge I think you'd better ask for a user-friendly GUI to R developers, although there are several. In my experience, pspp works much faster than alternatives using large data, which is an advantage. For that and other reasons I think pspp should be further developed. I agree that PSPPire must be on par with pspp, but the advantage here is that pspp commands are easy to use by knowledgeable SPSS largely unchanged. > There is an approach to pivot tables in > R http://www.rforexcelusers.com/make-pivottable-in-r/ which could > perhaps be a starter for basic CTABLES back-end functionality? > > Regards > Nigel > CJT _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
