Thanks Jon. Garry From: Jon K Peck [mailto:[hidden email]] Statistics versions are bound to a specific R version. The source code and build instructions for the R plugins for Statistics is provided along with the compiled plugin, so you could build a plugin for a different R version. In most cases, this would amount to just substituting the appropriate R files used by the plugin and recompiling, but it is possible that code changes would be required.

John,
I had a look at your workshop files and as an "exercise" replicated your SPSS syntax files concerning the topic "Nominal, ordinal and interval variables" (mybsa89_1.sps to mybsa89_4.sps) using Stata. See the .pdf files of the combined SPSS syntax files and its output as well of the Stata command file and its output uploaded to Nabble. BTW: To my mind, the readability of the Stata output is much better than the SPSS tables (despite your somewhat derisive comments as to its 1960s typewriter or 1970s line printer flavour). As to your suggestion of a knockout competition: It's the same with me - I don't have the time for it (but I'm also not really fond of knockouts). mybsa89_SPSS.pdf SPSS_Output.pdf mybsa89_Stata.pdf Stata_Output.pdf Dirk <quote author="John F Hall"> I've got plenty of data sets of my own, from major national surveys to the small (cumulative) data set generated by students on my courses. See: http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/data-sets-used-in-survey-analysis-workshop. html I don't have the time, but you're welcome to replicate the exercises in my tutorials using Stata instead of SPSS, then display the syntax and tables side by side. Many years ago, Beverley Rowe and I had the idea of organising a (knockout?) competition to see who could take a raw data set from a questionnaire survey and turn it into a fully documented system file in the shortest possible time using their favourite software. Any takers? John Hall |

Dirk I really appreciate this, thanks. As well as forecasts of 23°C it gives me another good excuse not go outside and weed my vegetable patches. I'll have a look at your materials and get back to you. Does Stata have a scheme of free licences for academic authors? That’s the only way I can access SPSS (19) as my fractional pension does not run to paying for software licences. The idea of the competition was in the 1970s when I compiled a register for the then Study Group on Computers in Survey Analysis, now the Association for Survey Computing. See: Hall J.F. Computer Software for Survey Analysis. (Special Supplement to SSRC Newsletter 20, October 1973) I have a copy somewhere in the attic, which I must find, scan and upload to my website. Thanks again for your work on my materials.

Dirk
I agree with your earlier comment about table presentation in Stata, but your SPSS table is different from what I get from SPSS (I had to use Snip to capture them as copying from the pdf file loses the formatting)
Never used Nabble before, but I've put a temporary page on my website:
