Re: calculating average annual percentage change in SPSS - reply help please!!

[Art Kendall]

It must be a real handicap in doing your work is you cannot get on listserv lists, forums, etc.

The listserv SPSSX-L uses  is very very old.  I guess nobody at a university or agency has volunteered to bring the archives to his/her system.
UGA has not updated its listserve or archives in a long time. They are running version 1.8d. The current version is at least 15.0.  [this is surprising since lists are very helpful in educational settings. UGA's page says it has 2000 lists!]


[hidden email] is where to send a message to the list manager.


I am including the list to see if others can help you.

I seem to recall that the problem of non-standard email has come up before. Does anyone on the list know
1 --  how someone who uses Lotus Notes can send _ordinary email_  without privileges?
2 --  what Thara should ask the IT department to set the overall parameters to? or
3 --  what Thara should ask the IT department to set the her/his parameters to?

Hi Art

I sent a message to the SPSS list and I get the following message.

I do not have the administrator's email address. Can you sent it to me please?

Also my agency uses IBM Lotus notes as the official email software. I personally cannot change any settings or  
features on it.

Your posting to the SPSSX-L list has been rejected because it contains an
attachment  of type  'MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE'. The  SPSSX-L list  has been
configured to reject  such attachments; please contact the  list owner at

Can you help me please? There is no other way I can access the list serve.

many thanks

Hi Maurice, David and Art

Thank you so much for helping me with the syntax to calculate  'average
annual percentage change in SPSS'.

My apologies if i was not clear in explaining what i wanted to calculate.

I wanted to measure the  avgchange over the 5 years.

Art - the syntax you sent me worked perfectly. This is extremely useful.
You are absolutely right in your observation that the average change and
annual growth rate can be different.

Prior to sending my request to the list I managed to calculate it  as
follows using  Excel:

which translates to this in my Excel file

                                     =(C9/C5)^(1/5)-1

I was wondering if there is way in SPSS to do this without the aggregate
process.

many thanks
thara

I used Lotus Notes all the time to send email to the list, including this message, and I have no problems with it.  Notes does sometimes encapsulate the earlier part of a message when you reply in a twisty, but I haven't seen this cause any problems.

The only thing I can think of is that you have a signature file that has an image or some complex formatting.  Ask your systems administrator for help.

Note also that you can use the forums attached to the SPSS Community (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral).  Those provide a number of conveniences not available on the listserv.

That's probably right - I have to delete my signature block to get my Lotus Notes e-mail to be accepted by the Listserv.
