SPSS Folks,
I am seeking assistance with an SPSS syntax programming problem.
I work as a research associate for the University of Southern Maine. My supervisor and I are looking for direction about how to develop syntax to automate the running of a survival analysis process using an existing database. The analysis will be looking at how long it takes for a program to move steps in a quality rating program. Programs may move one or more than one step in the project period (possible multiple events). We want to better understand if program location or setting make a difference in the time a program takes to move steps.
We have looked a several examples of syntax, but have found that our database is differently set up from those used in such examples. It appears that we require someone with more syntax coding expertise than we have locally to assist us.
Can anyone direct us to a consultant who can assist us with this work? We are under a time deadline and do not feel at this point that we have the understanding to complete this task inhouse. Please send contact information with your recommendations, if you send them.
Many thanks,
Brenda Zollitsch
