corley [Testing Summary Files:]
Line 20: Line 20:
 Data from each assessment wave from each country is sent to a single location (currently IBG - Robin Corley) for creation of a unified assessment wave data set, e.g., IT (Initial Test) or F1 (Follow-Up 1). Selected variables from the individual waves are then combined into a working individual-level cross-assessment file, and a twin-pair (double-entered) cross-assessment file. Data from each assessment wave from each country is sent to a single location (currently IBG - Robin Corley) for creation of a unified assessment wave data set, e.g., IT (Initial Test) or F1 (Follow-Up 1).

 +**ACCESS for non-SPSS users** 
 + 
 +SPSS files can be read by SAS. If using R, this library package appears to "translate" SPSS .sav files adequately. A similar function is available for .por files, which are soon to be phased out of SPSS. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +library(haven) 
 +df <- read_sav('kidpar.sav'
 +</code> 
 + 
 +The combined IT-F4 data can also be accessed as an Excel file with the data on one sheet and labeling information on a second.  This should allow access to those without ready access to SPSS.
