Hi all
I recently published, on SSRN, this paper
Shackman, Gene, Free To Use Statistical Software: Comparing Statistical 
Analyses (May 10, 2022). 
https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpapers.ssrn.com%2Fsol3%2Fpapers.cfm%3Fabstract_id%3D4105959&data=05%7C01%7Ckukuh.noertjojo%40worksafebc.com%7C21ff9bb14c02401771da08da3da1d5eb%7C05c5c963c8394c9eb5c1b51b3799ac37%7C0%7C0%7C637890062527817942%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=JBe11L1wAKxiQ2BeE00Z2r0zwFH5JM18GN%2F5HZcbiMA%3D&reserved=0
The good news is that all the packages give the same statistical results. They 
don't all have all the same analyses available, but when they do, their results 
are pretty much the same.
I include PSPP, among others. I'll periodically update the paper, when new 
versions of software come out.
I hope you all find it useful.
And, stay healthy.
Thanks
Gene

Temporary

2022-05-24 Thread jhwhite
I am using the PSPP syntax commands:

 

TEMPORARY

SELECT IF (VAR1 >=1)

 

Here is the question, I have several PSPP books. The "TEMPORARY" filter gets
me the data I desired, but how do I get the data file back to the complete
data set before I ran the PSPP syntax? I could not find the resolution in my
PSPP books.

 

Take care,

John

If I understand your question you get the data automatically "back" as 
the filter command only works for the next command or procedure.


If you run

temp.
sel if (vars >=1)
freq varx to vary.
SAVE /OUTFILE={’file_name’,file_handle}

you save the complete data set without the effect of the filter.

Thank you for the response.  I agree with you.  I ran a command after the 
“TEMPORARY” command – but the entire data set is still missing most of the data 
due to my “SELECT IF” COMMAND.  The workaround is I am creating separate files 
for each select if command I use.  Bulky for now. . .

Re: Temporary

2022-05-24 Thread Alan Mead

Sounds like a bug. If you do:

temporary.

select if(X>1).

freq / x.

freq / X.

My understanding is that the first FREQ should only show X > 1 and the 
second should show all cases. In fact, the manual entry uses almost this 
exact syntax:


https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/TEMPORARY.html

There's also FILTER, which is (IMO) a more modern way to do this. FILTER 
is not temporary (in that sense), but can be disabled with "FILTER OFF." 
and depending on what you are selecting, you might prefer "SPLIT FILE":


https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/FILTER.html

Error Message on PSPP created PDF files

Hi,

 

Every time I create PDF files in PSPP, I have issues.  Specifically, after
the file is created, I try to open the file I get a PDF 114 error message.
I tried reinstalling my Adobe Acrobat DC and PSPP - neither action worked.
I also tried to delete the "Advanced Metadata" option in "properties -
description" - to no avail.

Re: Error Message on PSPP created PDF files

What, exactly, are you doing?

I took the syntax from the PSPP manual page on Temporary 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/TEMPORARY.html), 
opened a new syntax window, pasted that syntax. Ran it. Selected 
"Export..." on the output window and saved it to the attached PDF (I'm 
assuming I can send a PDF...).


And I have no trouble opening it.

I'm using Windows 10 and PSPP version GNU pspp 1.5.3-g797d4c

BTW, this output suggests that TEMPORARY is operating as expected in the 
version of PSPP I'm using.

Re: Error Message on PSPP created PDF files

I think creating a PDF using Print uses a system component (i.e., some 
Windows or third-party software creates the PDF).


But since exporting a PDF works for me, I'm not sure why you're having 
difficulties. Was there a PDF attached (temp.pdf) to my prior reply, and 
were you able to open it?  That might give us a clue.


Also, I assume this behavior stays consistent across system reboots? It 
seems like the first step in trouble-shooting problems with 
Windows-based software is to reboot the computer.

Alan,

 

Yes, I was able to print your file.  It is probably a bug on my end -- the 
question is who/what.  I will have to put this one aside until I get my grant 
application completed.  At least I can obtain a working PDF using the 
“File-Print PDF Option.” In the past, I have been able to use the export

When I use the print file option to create the PDF – it works fine. This issue 
is resolved.

 

Thank you, Alan.

 

Take care,

John

Subject: Re: Error Message on PSPP created PDF files

 

What, exactly, are you doing?

I took the syntax from the PSPP manual page on Temporary 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/TEMPORARY.html), opened a 
new syntax window, pasted that syntax. Ran it. Selected "Export..." on the 
output window and saved it to the attached PDF (I'm assuming I can send a 
PDF...).

And I have no trouble opening it. 

I'm using Windows 10 and PSPP version GNU pspp 1.5.3-g797d4c

BTW, this output suggests that TEMPORARY is operating as expected in the 
version of PSPP I'm using.

Hi,

 

Every time I create PDF files in PSPP, I have issues.  Specifically, after the 
file is created, I try to open the file I get a PDF 114 error message.  I tried 
reinstalling my Adobe Acrobat DC and PSPP – neither action worked.  I also 
tried to delete the “Advanced Metadata” option in “properties – description” – 
to no avail.

 

Take care,

John
