There is no license for spss exact tests

Any suggestions or ideas? Regards, Andreas Voelp. Probably that other program has more disk space and set that up as the default Temp Disk.

Or in other words, check your head space :. It might be that there is not enough memory to load that piece if you don't run StatXact first, but it's already loaded if you do. As I vaguely recall, I ran this on an 8 MB and a 20 MB computer, and it ran or did not run, depending on the number of variables I requested. Or can you not do that? If that other program run first allows SPSS to run, then it may be organizing the memory better to Win95 which does not clean up memory allocations as one would expect.

If it were me, I would do a clean boot and have nothing else running, can you do that? What did SPSS say about this? Can they give you specifications for memory usage and possible bugs with Win95 or whatever OS you are using?

I have run the Exact Test and run into the memory problem, depending on the number of variables. It appeared to exponentially need more memory as the number of variables increased. From what little I remember, this is what one would expect from the large, harsh demands of the Exact Test. Depending on what I do before entering SPSS, the same syntax and the same data set will or will not do the job. There may be several programs that have the an influence here. I usually run so many different programs throughout the day that it is impossible for me to determine which if the leaves the system memory in exactly what condition.

However, the only one with which I can reproduce the effect almost systematically is StatXact. With the money saved using smaller sample sizes, you can conduct surveys or test direct marketing programs more often.

Stay ahead of the competition by using these resources to find new opportunities. Using the standard tests in IBM SPSS Base known as asymptotic tests can lead to misleading or inaccurate results when working with small datasets or sparse groups in the sample data. Skip to content. You can perform a test any time, with just a click of a button — during your original analysis or when you rerun it.

IBM SPSS Exact Tests provides more than 30 exact tests, which cover the entire spectrum of nonparametric and categorical data problems for small or large datasets. These tests include one-sample, two-sample and K-sample tests on independent or related samples, goodness-of-fit tests, tests of independence in RxC contingency tables and on measures of association.

Exact Tests however are not necessary when working with reasonably large data files and in fact may use too much computational resource or take too long to calculate the result.
