Filter Cases

vinschger

Hello,

I understand that JASP Data Editor allows filtering for variables and cases. However, I would like to know if it is possible to define filters specifically within the analysis section for each individual analysis.

For example, could I apply a filter such as "age > 50 and sex = female" for a descriptive analysis?

Additionally, when performing an unpaired t-test, instead of selecting two separate variables for comparison (e.g., blood pressure group 1 and blood pressure group 2), would it be possible to use a single variable (blood pressure) but apply separate filters for each group? For instance, could group 1 have the filter "age > 50 and medication = 0" and group 2 have "age < 50 and medication = 0"?

I am aware that such selections are for example available in MedCalc (medcalc.be). Here is an example of how filters work in medcalc:

Thank you for your assistance.

Dear all, 

If this is not achievable with the current version of JASP, would you recommend posting it as a feature suggestion on GitHub? Alternatively, is this something I could easily accomplish by entering a few lines of R code in JASP, despite having no prior knowledge of R? 

Thank you for your assistance.

This issue is very much on our radar -- in fact I believe it is currently being worked on. If you go to our GitHub page you should be able to find this issue, and you can indicate you value its implementation.

thank you @EJ - I have added an additional comment on github to further elaborate my feature suggestion. I hope this makes things clearer.
