Statistics Transform Node - Syntax Tab

IBM® SPSS® Statistics dialog option

If you are unfamiliar with IBM SPSS Statistics syntax for a procedure, the simplest way to create syntax in IBM SPSS Modeler is to choose the IBM SPSS Statistics dialog option, select the dialog box for the procedure, complete the dialog box and click OK. Doing so places the syntax onto the Syntax tab of the IBM SPSS Statistics node you are using in IBM SPSS Modeler. You can then run the stream to obtain the output from the procedure.

IBM SPSS Statistics Syntax editor option

Check. After you have entered your syntax commands in the upper part of the dialog box, use this button to validate your entries. Any incorrect syntax is identified in the bottom part of the dialog box.

To ensure that the checking process does not take too long, when you validate the syntax, it is checked against a representative sample of your data to ensure that the entries are valid instead of checking against the entire dataset.
