Updates on the SPSS Extension Hub (Extensions > Extension Hub)

Updates on the SPSS Extension Hub (Extensions > Extension Hub)..

There are two updates on the EH that might interest you.

1. There has been a Propensity Score Matching dialog on the Data menu for years, but it was just a custom dialog - not a full extension command, which sometimes caused problems.  It has been upgraded to a full extension command and has a few new features.  The command is STATS PSM.

2. The STATS TEXTANALYSIS command has a much simpler installation process, and it has some special code to deal with issues with nltk data downloads on the Mac where https connections using Python don't work well out of the box.  The nltk downloads window is no longer needed.

I hope that these will be helpful.
