you are right. The matrix input command has not yet been
implemented in PSPP, as far as I know. It would be a nice feature
to have. In the meantime you could work with R. It seems to be
possible to do a factor analysis based on the covariance or
correlation matrix in it.
Hello reader,
I hope this is the right place to pose my question; I
couldn't find any other. I'm doing a literature research on
reading problems in children, and I like to do my own
re-analysis of the data that the researchers report. This is
possible if the authors of an article report N of cases, means,
standard deviations and a complete correlation matrix of the
variables measured. SPSS then allows me to use this as input
with procedures like FACTOR and REGRESSION. But that means that
matrix input must be accepted by these procedures. As I'm not
sure how long I will be able to use SPSS in the future, I'm
looking for alternatives. Naturally, my first choice is PSPP,
but unfortunately, PSPP doesn't support matrix input of the kind
I'm talking about. Is there a chance of it being implemented? I
am quite ready to do something in return. I'm not a programmer,
but I could do translation work from English into Dutch.
Regards, Jaap.
