biplots in SPSS 15

Thomas Burley
Hi:
Is there a way to create biplots in SPSS for visualizing the output of a PCA analysis? I know you can select to have component loading plots output before running the analysis, but I'm looking for a way to do it where you can simply specify that only two components be plotted (it gets hard to interpret a component loading plot that has more than two) and also overlay other data via a biplot. Here's a link example just for clarification:

thanks.

Re: biplots in SPSS 15

Kooij, A.J. van der
Biplots is a feature of CATPCA in the Categories module, CAT(egorical)PCA can also be used for numeric data or a mix of categorical (nominal or ordinal) and numeric data. For numeric variables, specify the Optimal Scaling level as numeric and use the Discretization option Multiply (for variables with continuous values).
You can request a biplot of loadings and component scores, or of loadings or component scores and categories of background variables (like country, state, or age, etc., as in your example), or a triplot of loadings, components scores, and categories. For all plots you can specify which variables to include in the plot.

Consensus on SPSS15.0 and VISTA?

Dale Glaser
Hi all...I just read all the archives on SPSS and VISTA as I am in the process of purchasing a laptop..............my desktop at work has XP, thus I am assuming that the exchange of files across XP/VISTA is seamless (??)..........but my primary concern is though I know there is a patch for SPSS 15.0.1 (which is the version I own) and VISTA, I did read a couple of general concerns in the archives.........I just briefly reviewed the laptops for DELL and they do still offer XP as an option for their Notebooks, though one Consumer Reports review cautioned the XP purchaser that XP will soon be antiquated and not supported.......

  so, overall, I would be most appreciative for any opinions if I should stick to XP or are most of you finding no problems with VISTA and SPSS 15.0 (with the patch).

  thank you............Dale Glaser

Re: Consensus on SPSS15.0 and VISTA?

David Wasserman
I've experienced no problems with SPSS 15.0.1 (patched) with Vista, but it's
a little disconcerting every time on opening SPSS when my screens
momentarily go blank as the system makes some kind of display adjustment,
and then again on shutting it down.

Trademark
General Situation
 A trademark (including Service Mark) is a sign that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods or services of one party from those of others. In market economy, trademarks play a significant role in guiding market business, boosting national economy and protecting consumers’ rights and interests.

The owner of a trademark shall apply to the Trademark Office for registration if he wants the trademark used in business to be fully protected by law. Once a trademark is approved and registered, the trademark registrant is entitled to the exclusive rights to use the trademark, which includes: 1. Right to use the trademark; 2. Exclusive right; 3. Right to license; 4. Restraining Power; 5. Right of mortgage; 6. Right to invest; 7. Right of assignment; 8. Heirdom.

And we would like to draw your attention that, according to current different trademark protection systems of China as well as Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, the exclusive protection right of a registered trademark in any one of them DOES NOT cover its exclusive protection right in another. Therefore, for instance, filing a trademark application in China does NOT actually cover the scope of its exclusive protection right in such business booming regions as Hong Kong, Taiwan or Macau. In order to get comprehensive protection of your trademarks in China, we strongly suggest that your client register your trademarks respectively in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Basic requirements for filing a trade mark application in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau
1. Power of attorney signed by the applicant, if filing in Macau, a notarized power of attorney is required. Welcome to download the corresponding POA via our website www.sndre.com

2. An instruction letter indicating the applicant’s detail, i.e. its nationality, name, and address;

3. Wording or representation of the planned trademark application. In case of design or combined design and word mark applications we need a specimen of the mark to prepare the prints in accordance with the requirements of Trademark Office of China. If colours are to be claimed, we need a coloured sample;

4. List of Goods or Services to be protected;

5. If the applicant is one corporation, an electronic copy of the Commercial Register, or the certificate of incorporation, or other Business License of the corporation is needed. For a natural person, the electronic copy of his/her passport is available and enough;

6. A certified copy of the corresponding foreign application in case priority is to be claimed.
 Note:
About Priority: according to Trademark Law of People’s Republic of China, there are two types of priority to be claimed:
1. Where a trademark is first used for goods in an international exhibition on sponsored or recognized by Chinese Government, the applicant for the registration of the trademark may enjoy the right of priority within six months from the date of exhibition of the goods.  




2. Any applicant for the registration of a trademark who files an application for registration of the same trademark for identica1 goods in China within six months from the date of filing the first application for the trademark registration overseas may enjoy the right of priority in accordance with any agreement concluded between the People's Republic of China and the country to which the applicant belongs, or according to the international treaty to which both countries are parties, or on the basis of the principle whereby each acknowledges the right of priority of the other.

Charges of applying for trademark registration in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau
Generally, it takes three stages for a application mature to registration: Stage 1, Application; Stage 2, Examination and Publication; Stage 3, Acceptance and Registration. Because there is just 10 years for the newly registered mark, in order to maintain the protection of the registered mark, the registration should be renewed every 10 years.
About trademark search:
A trade mark registration is infringed by unauthorized use of the same or similar trademark, either on the goods covered by the registration or on similar goods if there is likely to be confusion. Moreover, a registered trade mark which has become well known in China will be infringed by the use of the same or similar mark on totally dissimilar goods where the later use, being without due case, takes unfair advantages of or is detrimental to the distinctive character or the repute of the well known registered trademark. Therefore, once a trade mark has been chosen, it is very important to conduct clearance searches to see if the trade mark is free for use. We can readily conduct searches of the Trade Marks Register.

Now we can offer two main types of searches:
 1.  We can conduct a basic search covering identical and very similar marks found on the Chinese Trade Marks Register for free. This includes Chinese Trademark applications and registrations, as well as international application /registration designating China.
2.  Alternatively, we can conduct a full clearance search which is a much more extensive search covering identical and similar marks on the Chinese Register, plus limited searches for potentially conflicting unregistered rights. The cost of this type of search is subject to the complexity of the mark (class/classes, products or service covered, word mark or device mark, etc.) and your specific requirements (time requirements, etc.).
