New postings:

A new version of the SPSSINC RASCH extension command fixing a bug with writing an output dataset

A  new version of the STATS TABLE CALC extension command that extends the table types that can be used and simplifies calculating with repeating labels


A new version of the FUZZY extension command for case-control matching.
A new version of the PSM (Propensity Score Matching) custom dialog package using the new FUZZY  version.
We found that in typical PSM cases, FUZZY could be very inefficient on large datasets and could run out of memory as well.
The new version when you select the Maximize performance option (formerly known as minimize memory) dramatically improves performance - much faster and uses much less memory.  One of my test cases that used to take 45 minutes now finishes in less than one minute.
This version of FUZZY also fixes a bug where sometimes a case could be matched with a control that was outside the specified tolerance.

In order to use the new PSM dialog you must install the new FUZZY version.
