Re: seeking a good data set for CTABLES examples

[ft gmail]

I got the answer from the German data archives in Cologne.

You find the use conditions here:  https://www.gesis.org/en/services/finding-and-accessing-data/data-archive-service . The Flash Eurobarometer surveys are access category 0, i.e. it can be used without license.

You can download other data (and questionnaires etc.) in SPSS format free of charge one registered at

Thanks a lot! What is the license for the data?

Hi Ben,

This is a shortened Flash Eurobarometer 383 survey from September 2013 which includes a multi-response variable

Q9 Which of the following are reasons why you own or used to own a firearm?

and some accompanying socio-demographic  nominal, ordinal and scale variables,

with n = 26,555 in 28 countries.

I shortened the labels for the multi-response question Q9 so that you can produce a readable table.

See attached save file and the questionnaire.

I am looking very much forward to your implementation of CTABLES.

Regards,

ftr

Here's an example of what I can do currently with this dataset and CTABLES. Syntax:

CTABLES /TABLE QN105BA[c] + QN105BB[c] + QN105BC[c] + QN105BD[c]
    /CLABELS ROWLABELS=OPPOSITE.

Output:

Here is one data set that seems to suit the purpose:
https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/2008-national-survey-of-drinking-and-driving-attitudes-and-behaviors
It's not perfect because the variable names are poor (they are simply
named for question numbers) and because a lot of the variables have a
wrong measurement level, but I'm going to start from it.

Please feel free to send me more data sets.
