That means you can do one-way ANOVA and regression, but not GLM, logisitic regression, factor analysis. No Advanced Models, no Missing Values Analysis, no Complex Surveys. PSPP seems to correspond only to SPSS base. The only downside I can see, though, is with the statement “no additional packages to purchase in order to get ‘advanced’ functions.” That appears to be because there aren’t any advanced functions. You can use PSPP with its graphical interface or the more traditional syntax commands. Its backend is designed to perform its analyses as fast as possible, regardless of the size of the input data. PSPP can perform descriptive statistics, T-tests, linear regression and non-parametric tests. There are no additional packages to purchase in order to get “advanced” functions all functionality that PSPP currently supports is in the core package. Neither are there any artificial limits on the number of cases or variables which you can use. The most important of these exceptions are, that there are no “time bombs” your copy of PSPP will not “expire” or deliberately stop working in the future. It is a Free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS, and appears very similar to it with a few exceptions. This is the description from its website: I have not tried it yet, but it does look promising. Thank you very much in advance.I just heard recently about PSPP, which is a free, open source version of SPSS.
How can I do it using SPSS? I think you have to use the select cases tool, but I don’t know how to select cases (or variables) upon cases (or variables).
After I would later compare the same selected group with patients with hyperglycemia (1), which also have skin rash (1) and did not received corticosteroids (0). However, the patients, based on ulcer location, should also be subclassifed as patients with hyperglycemia (1), which also have skin rash (1) and received corticosteroids (1). In other words, let’s imagine we have a database from 10000 patients with crohn’s disease, I want to select ulcer location (loc-1, loc-2, loc3 and loc-4), for later comparison. Variable 4 includes selected patients from the previous variables based on the output. patients with variable 1 (1) which don't have variable 2 (0), but has variable 3 (1) and variable 4 (1). I want to work on this data based on multiple cases selection or subgroups, e.g.
I have a data base of patients which contain multiple variables as yes=1, no=0. Hi, I am new on SPSS, I hope you can provide some insights on the following.
From my students' perspective, it is also valuable because they can advertise their SPSS/PSPP skills to potential employers- even small non-profit summer employers- and complete analyses without anyone needing to invest in an expensive site license just for a few crosstabulations and a regression! Professional researchers using SPSS/PSPP daily will surely appreciate the professional look, feel and support of SPSS, but for those who only periodically use stats or only basic statistics, PSPP is a great alternative supported by a small, but active community of developers and users. This gives more students access to hands-on analyzing at one time.
At an institutional level, this is huge because my campus has SPSS site licences in one lab, but can install PSPP for free campus-wide. This covers most everything in an introductory- and even intermediate- statistics test. For a full-year statistics class in the social sciences, my students can use PSPP for just about every analysis you would expect to find from simple descriptive statistics to logistic regression. Joining this thread late, but wanted to chime in to share my positive experiences using PSPP in the classroom as a substitute for SPSS.
