Re: Multi response sets in PSPP

[Robert Lutener]

CTABLES is probably the most valuable feature of SPSS and is used by the vast 
majority of people that buy the SPSS license.  It is a real shame that PSPP 
doesn't have CTABLES as this would be a major factor in more widespread use of 
this open source solution.

Hi, 

If the information here is up to date then we have MRSETS command implemented 
in PSPP 
http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/pspp.html#MRSETS 

Is there any way to display these MRSETS in the PSPP output - frequences, 
percentages or in corss tabs? I'm only using thses MRSETS in SPSS in CTables. I 
am aware that CTables are not implemented in PSPP and since it is very 
complicated won't rather be implemented in the nearest future. 

If it is not possible to display multi response, maybe implementation of MULT 
RESPONSE command would be a solution? Is it possoble to implement it? 

It is has an option to display frequences, percentages and even cross 
tabulation. I think that it would be very useful for users, what do you think? 

Thanks again to all the developers and people involved with PSPP project for 
all your work. 

kind regards, 

Michał Dubrawski 

Hi Michal, 

survey analyst NEED methods to study multiple-response variables. So I strongly 
support the idea to implement a Mult Response command. 

The help text ends with this cryptic sentence: 


Otherwise, multiple response sets are currently used only by third party 
software. 
Dear maintainers, would you please be so kind to explain which third party 
software is meant ? 

TIA
