Scripts and Macros

SPSS Syntax Files -- a large collection of SPSS routines for randomized study design , sampling strategies, meta-analysis, sanple size for confidence intervals, correlation tests, psychometry and other areas. The documentation is in Portuguese, but the scripts are usable as-is. You can have AltaVista automatically translate the page into English by going here, but do not use the "translated" scripts! The author has recently added two additional sections (in English) -- one for Dyadic Data Analysis, and one for Simple and Complex Random Assignment for Experimental Designs

Link-King -- a SAS program to detect duplicate entries in a file, or to link matching records in two files, based on criteria like names (first, middle, last, maiden, nickname), date of birth, gender, and social security number. A graphical interface, a “Link King for Knaves” feature, and a powerful interface for manually reviewing uncertain matches make it easy to use. It features both probabilistic and deterministic record linkage algorithms, phonetic name matching (NYSIIS and Soundex), and many other features for dealing with "mushy matches".
