Three new graphics items have been posted
to the SPSS Community website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral).
violin.viztemplate is a template for
the Graphboard template chooser in Statistics. It enables you to
produce violin plots. For those who have forgotten their musical
training, these are similar to boxplots but show a smoothed density for
the sides instead of the traditional boxes. Be sure to read the instructions
included in the download before using this. The template is in the
Graphical Tools collection.
STATS KERNEL DENSITY is an extension
command that calculates a smoothed density function using any of a large
number of kernel smoothers. Although most of these can be produced
using the GPL smooth functions and the GGRAPH command, this command can
save the calculated density as a dataset. It requires the R Essentials
and is in the Graphical Tools and Extension Commands collections.
ScatterWEllipse.spd is a custom dialog
box that creates a scatterplot with data ellipses at specified coverage
levels. It requires the R Essentials and is in the Graphical Tools
collection.
With these additions, there are now
48 extension commands available. These require either or both of
the Python and R Essentials. The totals by collection are as follows.
There is double counting in these numbers, since an item may be in
more than one collection.
