Hi Jordi, Fair assumption, yes, I didn't see it in Octave, but didn't check Matlab. Alright, I'll take some time to check out these functions (from Matlab) you mentioned, and see how I can conform to those as well. Is is worth having a function (wrapper) that provides the SPSS like output, but using Octave implementations of these Matlab functions? Cheers, Kyle
