Suggestions for Analysis
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Hello, Good year 2012 for Epidata members I have three suggestions about plans to improve Analysis : 1- Command "freq" : by default or with a new /"x", to sort ascending to even negative numbers or "0" number. With /sa ou others, sometimes, results of "freq" are mixed.. 2- Command "lifetable" : P50 (median) is sometimes false for little size of sample. 3- Command "scatter" : like with Epi-Info Dos, "/r", after scatter, was useful for the line of linear regression. Why not in Epidata Analysis ? Thank you for your work. Bernard Branger, Nantes, France (teacher of EPIDATA...)

Today's date issue
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hello I encountered a strange issue with today's date. The relational database looks like this: 1 parent file (Demographics) and 3 child files (midwife, 48-hour and 2-week) Each file includes today's date and worked well until I opened the file this morning and today's date is stuck on "30/12/2011". I tried to: * include a new today's date and the date is not automatically filled-out * delete today's date -save it - open rec file - close and add today's date to the qes-file - still today's date isn't filled out. If I create a qes file with only today's date included then the rec file does produce the correct today's date (03/01/2012). I asked program staff to enter one record and today's date updated itself to 03/01/2012. I am glad that this happened, however, I am not sure if this is a temporary or a permanent fix. Have you encountered a similar issue? If so, do you know what the problem might be and how I can solve this problem? Thanks, Renate

Hi, When I run the new Epidata manager and Epidata client, it failed with this error message: 'Windows cannot find "javaw". Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.' I am using 32 bit Windows 7 Home premium PC and it works well with old version of Epidata entry and Epidata analysis. Can anyone please help me with the installation? Thank you and happy New Year!

I have installed Epidata Manager & client. When I go to Epidata Client --> Edit --> settings, when I click on Paths the epidata client Freeze and cannot do anything. I am going close the program from task manager. I am running Windows 7 professional, 32bit version. I think there is an error in the setup file.

Thanks jamie. You are right. We should most likely change default tn e.g. Epidataxml. Please install into clean folder! Regards jens Lauritsen -oprindelig besk.- Emne: Re: [EpiData-list] First public relase of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient Fra: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Dato: 23-12-2011 17:31 Congratulations to Jens and Torsten for this Christmas present (or for whatever occasion your faith celebrates). I would encourage everyone to install these into a new EpiData folder. Overwriting files, with the Mac version at least, led to some problems with the file I created. No problem after I did a clean installation.

First public relase of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

Dear all Following the development in recent years, choice of a new file format to replace chk+rec, a lot of testing and specification we have today placed the first version 1.0 of the new software on the public download page at Http://www.epidata.dk/download.php I will not make a lengthy statement at this point, since users who followed the development on this list will be rather well informed. Following installation you should have: 1 The software (manager and entryclient) 2 The sample file 3 Tutorials files (introduction pdf files) Notice: Just after January 1st 2012 we will release a new version of EpiData Analysis, which can read the data created with V1 of Manager and v1 EntryClient, so be a little patient on that aspect. The XML structure created by version 1 of the software will be guaranteed readable from now on. Any future change to the xml will be handled by the software. Whereas up to now we have modified the structure several times. The final format allows the XML to conform to export to the standard defined by DDI (Http://ddi-alliance.org). More about this later. EpiData Entry will remain available for download for quite a long time still. Much of the functionality has not yet been implemented in the new tools, so if you need some of these aspects you may well choose to continue to use the old EpiData Entry. We are quite aware of possible problems in relation to installation etc. since the new installation routines will not in reality be tested before you as users start to download and experience. Please do continue to report any problems found or difficulties experienced. There is definetely a need to develop further documentation, training materials etc. , but that will come. Following well deserved days off during the coming weeks more news will follow in the beginning of 2012. We wish all a happy new year and express hopes for continued support and fruitful discussions on this list. Kind regards on behalf of Torsten Christiansen and myself Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association Denmark
