Re: Fw: PSPP Suggestion

[John Darrington]

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.

     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.
