I have a number of datasets with slightly different columns and I'm wondering if I can wrote generic code in PSPP to count the missing columns. For example, if I knew that the first and last column were, say, ID and X100, then I could count the missing this way: count miss = ID to X100 (MISSING).

Re: Open Source Version of AMOS?

I don't think PSPP has any SEM capabilities. If you search for "free sem software" you'll find a few choices. Probably your best bet is an R package or Mx. -Alan On 8/12/2016 1:37 PM, Anthony Thompson wrote: I have and am using PSPP, your open source version of SPSS. Do you have or are yo

Re: centOS6 install

There's PSPP (the statistical engine, which can be used on the command line to execute syntax files) and PSPPIRE (the graphical interface). I haven't tried recently, but PSPP has built fine on CentOS 6. Not so with the gui. One of the PSPP developers helped me get an older version of PSPPIRE up

Re: PSPP multiple linear regression with Y intercept equal zero

Ether, John is one of the main PSPP developers. I think everyone associated with PSPP wishes PSPP was feature complete, but the fact is that there are a lot of missing features. The developers list is pspp-dev and you can join it the same way that you joined pspp-users. The best solution would

Re: PSPP not working

Do you recall what version of PSPP you installed? Do you recall if it was the 32-bit or 64-bit version? I am using an older version, pspp 0.10.1-g1082b8, and it works fine on my 64-bit windows 7. When you say that the program doesn't respond, you click on the gui and a dialog opens but the statis

Re: PSPP linear regression (reference category).

If I understand your question, you're asking which is is the category against which each other dummy-coded category is compared? You select it when you dummy code. When you have K categories, you create K-1 dummy variables and one group has a zero on all K-1 dummy variables. That group is the r

Re: PSPP linear regression (reference category).

I've always used syntax to create dummy variables and it works the same in PSPP and SPSS. If you had a categorical variable X with *three* values 0/1/2 you would create *two* dummy coded variables like this: recode x (0=1) (1=0) (2=0) (ELSE=SYSMIS) into x_dum1. recode x (0=0) (1=1) (2=0) (ELSE=S

Re: Licence question - commercial usage.

Piotr, In a word, Yes. The longer answer is that PSPP is licensed under the GPL3 (or later) and you can read that document to understand your rights but compared to traditional commercial software your rights under the GPL are *considerable* (you can use PSPP as you wish, you are entitled to a c

Re: bonferroni correction to a mann whitney u test?

PSPP implements a subset of SPSS syntax and it sounds like PSPP does not accept that syntax. I don't see this option in the manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/pspp.pdf As a work-around, you could run the M-W test multiple times and apply a Bonferroni-corrected alpha, right? If you h

Re: install pspp 0.10.x on lunux

Rob, Are you trying to make a git pull or a release (tarball)? I don't know what the differences are, but making a git pull is said to be more complex, so I'd recommend getting a release (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/). I'm not sure that you can compile recent PSPP on CentOS 6, but I think you ne

Re: Selecting cases using the "IF" Function

As Dr. Water says, syntax is a solution. The steps would be to (1) paste the desired analysis and then (2) edit the syntax to insert the "IF" statement above it. You also need to decide if you want to "permanently" delete the non-selected cases or not. If I have a long series of analyses, I migh
