OMG, gerade für die Lehrvorbereitung mal wieder #SPSS aufgemacht und da gibt es jetzt Arbeitsmappen und ich finde es noch schlimmer als die Syntax files.

#statstab #267 That’s a Lot to Process! Pitfalls of Popular Path Models
Thoughts: The number of senior psych researchers that just loooove Process...and all use it post hoc 
Causal inference is not easy.
I really avoid ragging on #SPSS because for many things, it's a perfectly fine tool and I hate software wars. But while helping a colleague with some analyses conducted in SPSS, I noticed that the REGRESSION command treats predictors that are explicitly declared to be nominal variables still as scale variables (also without issuing any warning). That is really quite dumb. Of course users should notice that a single slope coefficient cannot represent a 5-level categorical variable, but still ...
Ich: Hier, lecker #Forschungsdaten und Dokumentation in offenen Formaten unter freier Lizenz! 
Deutsches Forschungsdatenzentrum: Wir haben Ihre Daten ins proprietäre #SPSS-Format konvertiert, weil das Programm sehr weit verbreitet ist. (Spoiler: Ist es gar nicht mehr, aber gut. Die Dokumentation ist damit jedenfalls größtenteils für die Tonne, weil für #Rstats und nicht für SPSS.)
Recently I asked for the data and code for a study that a journal invited me to review. Authors provided data, but "No code was used as all analysis were performed with SPSS."
Let's see whether this is an exception to the rule that "It is often impossible to reproduce the results without knowing all the steps followed in the analysis, even when a detailed methodology is provided.", as this article found:

#NASA lays out the path to space-based solar power
Here’s what needs to happen to make the futuristic concept a part of the clean energy future.

@CNN This wild, futuristic #SPSS #SpaceSolarPower #CISLunarEconomy plan could help save the world. 
But some say it’s too far-fetched (Ed : Same peeps said man would never land on moon or fly in the sky

This week we're introducing our Special Interest Group leads! The @RoSE_Network_ has several Special Interest Groups (SIGs), each covering a different area of statistics education research.
We're starting with introducing our Statistics Software SIG! This SIG is interested in exploring questions about the educational pros and cons of different statistics software and how to teach and learn them effectively.
According to Gartner #IBM #SPSS is leader in the field of Data Science Platforms. Want to know how IBM can help you put things in the right perspective using statistics? #IngramMicro

@emma_cogdev my feeling is it can't be (easily) done. #SPSS doesn't allow covariates with any analysis for ordinal data i can find. Same for @JASPStats or #jamovi. Or those that do, don't allow repeated measures 
(and when i think in R it is just a few lines of code... 
)

@Brendanjones
They are only a problem when they are conducted within the atmosphere of this planet.
When O'Neill wrote about the #High #Frontier in 1970-80s the most obvious problems with colonies and #SPSS solar power satellites was what to do with/how to sell the electricity.
Move the bulk of heavy computation off the planet, power it from solar satellites - probably photovoltaic, but perhaps thermal systems may have places - and move results and givens up and down, economically of power.

@r_ivorra I don't get the impression that #rstats is declining. There seem to be some people using #julialang instead of (or in addition to) R, but there are also people picking up R instead of packages like #spss.
As for competition from #python, I'm not sure how significant this is. Among those of my classmates who are inexperienced programmers, there is some strong R-avoidance in favour of Python; those people were never going to consider R anyway.
If less than 50% take the blue pill, all #DataScience will have to be done on #SPSS on windows vista, if more than 50% blue or anyone that takes red will continue using the tools they want (regardless of percentage of blue)
I wrote a humorous blog post comparing two data analysis workflows, one centered on a combination of #spss, #word and #excel, the other on #rstats and #rmarkdown. Take a look if you like penguins and the multiverse! https://hkarlsen.rbind.io/blog/data-workflow/
