It worked when I deleted
C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19
The difference in the file location may be due to windows version. I
am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
However to be safe I did this.
1) Quit Statistics.
2) Rename C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19
to
C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19xx
3) reboot
4) Restart Statistics and try your
search again.
5)
Delete C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Eclipse\com.ibm.spss.statistics.help_19xx

If you were a beta customer and
missed the instruction to delete that folder (at the time the
uninstall process was unable to automatically remove that
folder), then you might see this problem as the result of a
stale index.

Re: problem with help
for RASCH procedure |
Hmm. I don't have a good answer
for the problem with the browser.
For getting help on Rasch
modeling, what Kim has said is correct, but I would add that
while the "regular" help topics only discuss the SPSSINC RASCH
extension command in the context of how to create extension
commands, clicking on the Help button in the Rasch dialog
(Analyze > Scale > Rasch Model...) does bring up help on
using the Rasch dialogs and running SPSSINC RASCH /HELP. will
bring up help on using the SPSSINC RASCH syntax. Kim's
suggestion below will tell you about the R module and the
computations it's making, but does not tell you anything about
running the Statistics extension command.
Alex
thnks for your reply.
Is scripting enabled in your
browser? Tools > Options; Content tab, "Enable JavaScript"?
Yes it is.

I see that you get these strange
notes specifically when you search for help in the extension
commands that lead to Tutorial topics, but the topics are
functional anyway. However, you won't find out anything
statistically interesting about Rasch from those topics. Rasch
shows up in the help only in the context of how to create
R-based extension commands. To get help on the underlying Rasch
module, run this.
begin program r.
library(ltm)
help(rasch)
end program.

Also note that by running SPSSINC RASCH /HELP. in the syntax
window, you'll get some brief help in the output Viewer on the
syntax options.

When I type "Rasch" into the edit box for help I get this note
under each entry in the left pane.

I am running Firefox 3.6.13
And Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U23Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_23 for Mozilla
browsers, both the current versions.
I restated the system after updating JAVA. It did not help.
The Rasch procedure runs. I was trying to look at help to
understand what it is trying to do.
Has anybody had this problem?
