Descriptive Statistics computes descriptive statistics
for a set of input column variables or for groups of data within
a set of input column variables. It displays the results in
the log window and also optionally stores them in Datasheets.
To use the utility, use the following steps:
- Select Statistics > Basic Statistics > Descriptive Statistics
to open the utility.
- In the Input Variable(s) text box,
enter the names of the columns.
Separate column names by spaces (e.g. c2 c4),
and use a dash to indicate a range of columns (e.g. c10-c15).
- In the By Variable drop-down menu, select
the variable that will be used to group data values in each column.
- Select the descriptive statistics to be computed by
checking their corresponding check boxes.
- Check the Store Results in New Datasheet box
if you would like to store the statistics in new Datasheet(s).
Statistics for each input variable will be stored in separate
Datasheet.
- Click OK to finish. The results are displayed in the
log window and stored in new Datasheet(s) if specified.
