Email vom Douglas Bonnett:

I am using version 22 of SPSS and it does not complain if I use CIN.

========= Email from Dougles Bonett

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-dev/2015-07/msg00007.html

Is there some reason why PSPP does not use the same syntax as SPSS? For example, the SPSS syntax for a 1-sample t-test is:

T-TEST
/TESTVAL=15
/MISSING=ANALYSIS
/VARIABLES=dollars
/CRITERIA=CI(.95).

But this will give an error in PSPP. PSPP uses CIN(.95) rather than CI(.95). I hope this is a bug and not intentional.
============

Looking at the SPSS 23 syntax reference

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/analytics/spss/documentation/statistics/23.0/en/client/Manuals/IBM_SPSS_Statistics_Command_Syntax_Reference.pdf

they describe CI as the parameter but in the following examples they use CIN.

The (more or less current) pspp development tree also requires CIN. Would be interesting to see if CIN also works in spss...
