{GRD} 2.1: An update to {GRD} for {SPSS} 27 and above

Abstract

GRD is a popular tool to genenrate random data on the fly. It is most useful in statistic classes where the students can generate with a single short syntax, or using a graphical interface, random data that differs on every run but yet can implement effect sizes, outliers, etc. With the new versions of SPSS (version 27 and above) which is now using a new version of Python, it was necessary to upgrade the extension. Here, GRD 2.1 is presented which works with SPSS 27 and above.
