Exact tests in the crosstabs procedure

  • 1.  Exact tests in the crosstabs procedure

    Posted Mon March 13, 2023 09:26 AM

    Up to last September the crosstabs menu asked whether we wanted exact, montecarlo or asymptotic tests  . This possibility is no more avalilable in my current version and I only get asymptomatic tests....  How can I  get again  the exact tests? Thanks....

    Hello @viviane de maertelaer ,
    The available functionality and features you see in the IBM SPSS Statistics menus is governed by the licensing.  If you say you had Exact Tests up until last September, it seems like that would have been when the licensing for your installation of IBM SPSS Statistics would have changed:

    • If you are using Authorized User licensing, do you recall applying a new authorization code to your installation at that time?  Or perhaps your organization IT staff might have done?
    • If you are using Concurrent User licensing, it may be that your organizations IT staff updated the license on your concurrent license manager - to one that does not include Exact Tests.

    In any case, it seems like your first step will be to confirm with your organization that you are running IBM SPSS Statistics with the intended license.  If that license no longer includes the Exact Tests module, you might inquire of them why they decided to drop Exact Tests.

    I hope this helps,
