ADJUSTLEVEL Subcommand (ADP command)

The ADJUSTLEVEL subcommand recasts ordinal fields with too many categories as continuous and continuous fields with too few unique values as ordinal. By default, the measurement levels of ordinal fields with more than 10 categories and continuous fields with fewer than 5 unique values are adjusted.

INPUT=YES | NO. Check inputs and adjust measurement level if necessary. By default, inputs are checked.

TARGET = YES | NO. Check target and adjust measurment level if necessary. By default, the target is checked.

MAXVALORDINAL = integer. Maximum number of categories allowed for ordinal fields. Ordinal fields with more than MAXVALORDINALcategories are recast as continuous fields. Specify a positive integer. The default is 10. The value of MAXVALORDINALmust be greater than or equal to MINVALCONTINUOUS.

MINVALCONTINUOUS = integer. Minimum number of unique values allowed for continuous fields. Continuous fields with less than MINVALCONTINUOUS unique values are recast as ordinal fields. Specify a positive integer. The default is 5. The value of MINVALCONTINUOUS must be less than or equal to MAXVALORDINAL.
