Two new extension commands have been added
to the SPSS Community website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral)
in the Extension Commands collection.
STATS CATEGORY ORDER creates macros
or multiple dichotomy sets with a specified variable order. Items
are created in sorted order of the count but allowing for special values
such as "other" to be moved out of the sort order. Inputs
can be a collection of ordinary variables or one or more multiple dichotomy
sets. The macros can be used in the CATEGORIES subcommand of CTABLES.
STATS MCSET CONVERT converts a multiple
category set to a multiple dichotomy set. This may be useful in conjunction
with STATS CATEGORY ORDER or when tabulating individual values or generating
dummy variables for procedures such as REGRESSION.
Both of these require the Python plugin
and work with Statistics V18 or later.
This brings the number of extension
commands available from the SPSS Community site to 72.
