Re: Multi response sets in PSPP

[Matthias Faeth]

I strongly support Robert's view. However, the maintainers seem to be more interested in statistics than plain old tabulation. Has anyone an idea how to implement even a stripped down version of CTABLES?

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,

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
