  1. I have drawn symbols and patterns for use in #gnu #pspp graphs. They're all SVG scalable graphics, which means that they can be rendered accurately at any size and with any color combination.

    #spss

  2. After some experiments, I'm confident that SPSS doesn't use a general purpose constraint solver for the same purpose, so to achieve the same behavior I'll probably have to use an ad hoc algorithm in PSPP. #spss #pspp

  3. Very first super-primitive success at getting #pspp to understand #spss graphs. On the right, the plot as shown in SPSS. On the left, as shown in this very preliminary attempt. You can see that the data is interpreted correctly, since the lines look correct (although it's flipped vertically from one to the other).

  4. I've been having fun figuring out how to read graphs from SPSS viewer files over the last few weeks. In a few more weeks I might be able to render some of the simpler ones. At some point I'm going to have to figure out how to do regression testing for graphical output, too. #pspp #spss

  5. I put out a preview release of the first #Rust version of GNU #PSPP last night that supports reading and writing #SPSS SPV files. I think that the SPV support is better, at this point, than the C version of PSPP. I consider it just a "preview" release only because I know that the PDF output has some nasty bugs in it, particularly when tables get split across multiple pages.

    Cool new feature: support for ANSI color in tables output to the terminal.

  6. I'm so proud of the work I've done this year toward rewriting all of GNU PSPP in #rust. I'm almost done with implementing the SPV file format, better and better tested and better documented than the C version. And safer, of course. Sometime next year I'll replace the pspp.benpfaff.org site by the Rust implementation. And then I'll start implementing the language itself.

    I might even work on implementing the chart language. It never seemed practical in C. It might be, in Rust.

  11. YES. I just figured out what I was doing wrong in #SPSS after failing a few dozen times which means I AM LEARNING.

    First developed at the @uva_amsterdam , #JASP (fosstodon.org/@JASPStats) is a free, cross-platform software program with an advanced graphical user interface. It is widely used for conducting and teaching statistics, and is often compared to #SPSS... give it a try if you want to break the lifelong IBM SPSS dependence for yourself and (future) organization!

  16. I'm putting together notes for novices to do simple data analysis with R and the fact that I'm telling them to "cut and paste this inscrutable block of code at the start of your file" reminds me of nothing so much as when I worked for the ESRI in Dublin in the mid 1980s and we used to run SPSS analyses remotely on UCD's Amdahl by sandwiching our SPSS code (on punch cards) between two decks of IBM Job Control Language cards of which we understood nothing whatsoever. #rlang #spss #dataanalysis

  18. I bought a 2 machine license for SPSS (student discount) for school. It gave me a serial number.I loaded a copy on Windows (v31), worked fine. Anyone know where i can find SPSS for Linux? I keep seeing reference to v27 working but I can't find a download link, even on the IBM website.And lots of "here is how you install it/set environment" but no actual link to download. Not that I know if my serial # will even work or if its Win/Mac only. #spss #ibm #linux

  20. OMG, gerade für die Lehrvorbereitung mal wieder #SPSS aufgemacht und da gibt es jetzt Arbeitsmappen und ich finde es noch schlimmer als die Syntax files.

  21. Interested in #eusilc?

  23. I really avoid ragging on #SPSS because for many things, it's a perfectly fine tool and I hate software wars. But while helping a colleague with some analyses conducted in SPSS, I noticed that the REGRESSION command treats predictors that are explicitly declared to be nominal variables still as scale variables (also without issuing any warning). That is really quite dumb. Of course users should notice that a single slope coefficient cannot represent a 5-level categorical variable, but still ...

  25. Ich: Hier, lecker #Forschungsdaten und Dokumentation in offenen Formaten unter freier Lizenz! :awesome:

    Deutsches Forschungsdatenzentrum: Wir haben Ihre Daten ins proprietäre #SPSS-Format konvertiert, weil das Programm sehr weit verbreitet ist. (Spoiler: Ist es gar nicht mehr, aber gut. Die Dokumentation ist damit jedenfalls größtenteils für die Tonne, weil für #Rstats und nicht für SPSS.)

  26. 🚀 LinkAhead Crawler Now Supports SPSS Files! 🚀

    We’re excited to announce that the #LinkAhead crawler 🦀 can now (actually since 0.8.0) work with #SPSS data! That means it can automatically generate YAML data model files from SPSS (.sav) files 📊, and even create `cfood.yaml` and `identifiable.yaml` files directly from your data.

    Check out the 🎬 video to see the new SPSS support in action! 🎥🍿

  29. Just used #multipleimputation in #SPSS for the first time (used Stata and R before). It's not bad (I'd give it a B) and the reporting pooled estimates works well. That said (1) I had a terrible time imputing categorical variables and (2) skip patterns don't work well because I can't specify constraints to only impute certain variables for given values of another variable.
