Examples (WEIGHT command)

WEIGHT BY V1.
FREQ VAR=V2.

• The frequency counts for the values of variable V2 will be weighted by the values of variable V1.

  COMPUTE WVAR=1.
  IF (GROUP EQ 1) WVAR=.5.
  WEIGHT BY WVAR.

• Variable WVAR is initialized to 1 with the COMPUTE command. The IF command changes the value of WVAR to 0.5 for cases where GROUP equals 1.
• Subsequent procedures will use a case base in which cases from group 1 count only half as much as other cases.
