SUPPLEMENTARY Subcommand (CORRESPONDENCE command)

The SUPPLEMENTARY subcommand specifies the rows and/or columns that you want to treat as supplementary (also called passive or illustrative).

  • For casewise data, the specification on SUPPLEMENTARY is the row and/or column variable name, followed by a value list in parentheses. The values must be in the value range specified on the TABLE subcommand for the row or column variable.
  • For table data, the specification on SUPPLEMENTARY is ROW and/or COLUMN, followed by a value list in parentheses. The values represent the row or column indices of the table input data.
  • The maximum number of supplementary rows or columns is the number of rows or columns minus 2. Rows and columns that are restricted to have equal scores count as 1 toward the number of rows or columns.
  • Supplementary rows and columns cannot be equalized.

Example

CORRESPONDENCE TABLE=MENTAL(1,8) BY SES(1,6)
/SUPPLEMENTARY MENTAL(3) SES(2,6).
  • SUPPLEMENTARY specifies the third level of MENTAL and the second and sixth levels of SES to be supplementary.

Example

CORRESPONDENCE TABLE=ALL(8,6)
/SUPPLEMENTARY ROW(3) COLUMN(2,6).
  • SUPPLEMENTARY specifies the third level of the row variable and the second and sixth levels of the column variable to be supplementary.
