ANALYSIS Subcommand (HOMALS command)

ANALYSIS limits the analysis to a specific subset of the variables named on the VARIABLES subcommand.

  • If ANALYSIS is not specified, all variables listed on the VARIABLES subcommand are used.
  • ANALYSIS is followed by a variable list. The variables on the list must be specified on the VARIABLES subcommand.
  • Variables listed on the VARIABLES subcommand but not on the ANALYSIS subcommand can still be used to label object scores on the PLOT subcommand.

Example

HOMALS VARIABLES=ACOLA(2) BCOLA(2) CCOLA(2) DCOLA(2)
  /ANALYSIS=ACOLA BCOLA
  /PRINT=OBJECT QUANT
  /PLOT=OBJECT(CCOLA).
  • The VARIABLES subcommand specifies four variables.
  • The ANALYSIS subcommand limits analysis to the first two variables. The PRINT subcommand lists the object scores and category quantifications from this analysis.
  • The plot of the object scores is labeled with variable CCOLA, even though this variable is not included in the computations.
