Tutorial - Analyses

Designing & Running Analyses   (Continued)

Now we're ready to begin designing procedures to run analyses. A simple procedure might be:

STUDY TUTORIAL
FREQUENCIES GENDER

This procedure consists of a single task. The procedure says to use the codebook and data file called TUTORIAL, and perform a frequency analysis of the GENDER variable.

When writing procedures, variables may be referenced by their variable name or variable number. When using a number to reference a variable, always use the letter "V" as a prefix. In our sample, GENDER is the first variable, so this procedure could also be written as:

STUDY TUTOTIAL
FREQUENCIES V1
