Functions that are used on cases rather than variables.

[venkatesh gandi]

Dear all,

As i am a new bee to SPSS, I am very enthusiastic to know about the functions that are  used on cases rather than variables.

Can you please let me known about the function of that type which are mainly used for data mining, checking  like LAG, DIFF, CSUM (not for statistical analysis i.e. the functions that are used for smoothing).

That would help me soo much!

 Thank in advance!

You can find a full list with summary information of all the casewise transformations via the Compute dialog box.  This includes LAG.  Less obvious are the commands SHIFT VALUES (Transform > Shift Values) and CREATE (Transform > Create Time Series).  The biggest workhorse transformation command working across cases is AGGREGATE (Data > Aggregate). 

You might also be interested in the STATS KERNEL DENSITY (Analyze > Descriptive Statistics > Fit Smoothed Distributions) extension command.  Some extension commands are installed with Statistics while others can be installed using Utilities > Extension Bundles > Download and Install Extension Bundles).
