Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

DESCRIPTIVES

Summary statistics of numeric variables, optionally saved as z-scores.

Syntax

DESCRIPTIVES [/]VARIABLES=varlist [/STATISTICS=stat ...] [/MISSING=VARIABLE | LISTWISE [INCLUDE]] [/SAVE].
stat: MEAN SEMEAN STDDEV VARIANCE KURTOSIS SKEWNESS RANGE MINIMUM MAXIMUM SUM DEFAULT ALL.
DEFAULT is MEAN STDDEV MINIMUM MAXIMUM; N is always shown. Weighted when a weight variable is set.
MISSING=VARIABLE (the default) leaves out the missing values of each variable on its own;
LISTWISE leaves out a case missing on any listed variable; INCLUDE counts user-missing values.
The row Valid N (listwise) counts the cases valid on every listed variable. String variables get no
statistics; a warning names them. var (name) in the list adds a z-score under that name; SAVE adds
one for every variable, named Z plus the variable name (ZSC001 to ZSC099, STDZ01 to STDZ09,
ZZZZ01 to ZZZZ09, ZQZQ01 to ZQZQ09 when that name is taken), labelled Zscore: plus the label.

Example

DESCRIPTIVES VARIABLES=age income (z_inc) /STATISTICS=DEFAULT SUM /SAVE.
