Split Files (DISCRIMINANT command)

  • When split-file processing is in effect, the first variables in the matrix data file will be split variables, followed by ROWTYPE_, the grouping variable, VARNAME_, and then the variables used to form the correlation matrix.
  • A full set of matrix materials is written for each subgroup defined by the split variables.
  • A split variable cannot have the same variable name as any other variable written to the matrix data file.
  • If split-file processing is in effect when a matrix is written, the same split file must be in effect when that matrix is read by another procedure.
