Re: Re: SPSS

Consider using R with RCmdr package. R is free, has capabilities better than any other statistical software, and has wonderful graphics. Without RCmdr package, R is command-line driven (or script-driven) which gives much better control over the software than menu-driven. But for those who like menu-driven (point n' click) RCmdr package (also free) should work just fine.

Re: SPSS

DrRathore, the licence of SPSS v16 or v17 is quite expensive, therefore, giving version 10 can be a one reason. 2ndly, v16 has not a good interface and its a failure. Maybe v17 has something better. I suggest you to try ncss.com (not free either) which is much better software than SPSS and also calculates Sample sizes (PASS 2008 module) as well. SPSS v10 is equally effective as far as a general clinician is concerned.

For data entry, I suggest you to use EPIDATA which is available for free.

: Re: SPSS

dear Sir
I agree with you on this But then one may Say why to Use Miscrosoft office 2007 when one can type letters and manuscripts in office 95. i think its the convenience and better ultilities in the new version that are useful e.g the interactive graphs in V16 are much better than V 10 and the use interface is also better.

But my main concern is that Why the only Post Graduate Degree imparting Institute Like CPSP refuses to upgrade to a better version of SPSS while at the same time they have increased the biostatistic workshop fees many folds in the last 10 years

Re: Re: Re: SPSS

Dear Dr. Rathore, what is(are) the difference(s) between version 10 and 16 (or 17)? If one only wants to do t-test, chi-square test, or may be linear or logistic regression, version 10 probably is adequate. Can you please elaborate in which respect version 16 or 17 is superior to version 10?
