Anybody know if there is an good documentation or tips out on the web for
using the SPSS I/O DLL in Visual Basic?
I have downloaded the Developer kit but it mentioned difficulties using the
I/O DLL with Visual Basic but doesnt give examples or any idea where I can

Hi comp.soft-sys.stat.spss,
I posted a similar question a while back on sci.stat.math, but didn't
get much of a response.
I have two groups, which differ on the variables C and E (both normally

Dear comp.soft-sys.stat.spss,
I have two groups of people, 1 and 2, that differ on a cognitive
variable, C, and on an EEG variable, E. I'm told (on sci.stat.math)
that the usual way to see how C and E might be connected, is to regress

I was hoping someone here might be able to help with a problem I'm having. I
need to do a survey analysis of questionnaire data. However, some of the
survey questions I don't know how to enter into SPSS, as they seem to be
two-dimensional.

I've been writing loops and making mistakes.  Unfortunately, after I
make a  mistake that results in an unclosed LOOP, I have to close and
re-open the data file because it becomes locked.  The status line reads
"Transformations Pending", but running transformations only yield more

At my work, we are creating a large number of blank data entry tables.
There are many research visits, each with different combinations of
different measures done with patients. Currently we are creating macros
for each measure (we just all learned macros, they are new to us) and I

I am trying to do logitudinal analysis of this data set, and want to
create a subset of only individuals who have answered a particular
question/variable at both time one and time two. Can I do this with the
menues in 13, or must I use syntax, which I have never done before

I am reviewing a piece of research in which a correlation of .6 has
been found between two variables. The scatterplot is okay. However, the
N is 12. I remember reading somewhere that an N of 50 was the minimum
required for a correlation.

I have a 2x2 table of categories and outcomes:
  Outcome      Bad      Good
Group

I am new to SPSS.
I have put in a table 8 column which contains in each cell 1 or -1.
When I tried to calculate the correlation between to columns using
"Analyze > Correlate > Bivariate", I got the following message: "All

Hii
I am a PhD student and I am new to SPSS and significane tests. I have 2
different groups. The dimensionality of each group is 2. The size of
one group is way smaller than the other. The first group comprises of x

Yet another basic-level question, hope it won't irritate advanced
users.
I need to figure out whether the data format is string, numeric or
data-type.

I need to calculate variance of column 2 within each patient (which is
in the column 1). My data looks like this:
patient   col2
