VARIABLES Subcommand (DISCRIMINANT command)

VARIABLES identifies the predictor variables, which are used to classify cases into the groups defined on the GROUPS subcommand. The list of variables follows the usual conventions for variable lists.

• VARIABLES is required and can be specified only once. Use the ANALYSIS subcommand to obtain multiple analyses.
• Only numeric variables can be used.
• Variables should be suitable for use in a regression-type equation, either measured at the interval level or dichotomous.
