...finanlly have found this mailing-list.
Is there anybody to tell me more about PSPP.
I have already installed and also used it.
I think sucessfully.
Nevertheless there are often Questions left.
Is there only this "mailing list archive" or is there also something like a
"forum".
then it would be easier to look for "older already solved questions".This is the only forum that is "official". I find it very easy to search for previous questions by going to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-users and typing a phrase in the Search box there. Questions: 1. I need help in interpreting the statistical result number. This is most due to a basic lack in memory to my statistical classes more than 25 years ago. But also - ich couldnt find an explanation. For example the results of a simple survey about the ability of twinkling... (isnt that sweet...) a) For "my eyes" there is the strange result, that people form Northamerica are more likely to be able to twinkle only on the right side, versus people from europe more on the left. I understand the first 3 lines of percentages - but not the last line - the fourth one. b) Can anybody give me an mathematical explaniation c) I also do not know how to interpretate correctly the last information package about "Statistics". Is there an anybody to tell me more about that? ! I don't regularly use the Crosstabs command, so I'll let someone else explain that. 2. If I will get more additional answers of this survey, how can I add the new cases easily and automaticly from an Excel-file or an csv-file...? CSV can easily be imported using the GET DATA command. Alternatively, if you are using the GUI, then the File->Import Delemited Text Data menu is an easy front-end to this command. There is currently no direct way if importing Excel files. However Gnumeric and OpenOffice spreadsheets can similarly be imported using GET DATA (see the manual for details). I understand that some versions of Excel can export to OpenOffice format. 3. I dont know, how to put the Syntax-Infos (with SPSS syntax) into PSPP... There are three ways: 1. Put the syntax into a file, and type "pspp <filename>". 2. Just type "pspp" on its own, and manually enter the syntax at the prompt. 3. Start psppire, select File->New->Syntax, Enter the syntax (or load it from a pre-existing file) and select Run->All.
