Fw: PSPP Suggestion

Sir/Madam:

Before anything else, I'd like first to introduce myself... I'm Jason Salas, a freelance statistician and an MBA student here in Philippines.

I'd like to express my great appreciation in finding the statistical software PSPP which is almost similar to SPSS.  Upon getting familiar with SPSS, I found four (4) modules in it that are very useful namely: 1)  Descriptive Statistics; 2) Compare Means; 3) Correlate - Bivariate; and 4) Linear Regression - Stepwise Method.

However, the last 2 modules: 3) Correlate - Bivariate; and 4) Linear Regression - Stepwise Method are not available is PSPP.  In Linear Regression in PSPP, only Enter Method is being used and not the Stepwise Method which is available in SPSS.

With these, can I request and suggest that these two modules be made available in PSPP soon?  PSPP would be greatly helpful and be appreciated more by advanced statisticians if these two modules are available.  I take the initiative to suggest this to your developers if no one else will do.  I have a positive outlook that PSPP will outsmart other statistical software if it has these two very indispensable modules.

I'm looking forward to hear from you very soon. 

Thanks and best regards,

Jason Salas

Thanks very much for your comments.

Bivariate correlation has recently been added, but it's not available in any
released version.  However if you're willing to try the development "master"
branch then we'd appreciate any feedback you can offer.

Jason Stover wrote the Linear Regression code, so perhaps he can comment on the
Stepwise method.

It's on a long list of features to add. We're reworking the whole
least squares framework on which it relies, though. After that's done,
I'll look into stepwise.

Thanks as well sir J' for acknowledging my comments.  May I ask where can I try that development "master" branch?  Does it contain already the bivariate correlation?

I also got the response from Jason Stover and they're moving forward to meeting stepwise regression and I'm very glad to hear that PSPP's development is in progress.  I know it's not that easy but atleast one step forward each day keep us near to our goals.

I'll look to into the development "master" branch and will give my feedback soon.

Thanks and best regards,

Jay

Thanks for the feedback, I'll also see what I can contribute to the development of PSPP.

You can checkout the master branch from the Git repository.   See
http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=pspp for further information.

I myself think downloading the master or stable version from
http://pspp.benpfaff.org/~blp/ is more convenient.

Have fun
