Example: Matrix Input from External File (FACTOR command)

GET FILE='/data/country.sav' 
  /KEEP SAVINGS POP15 POP75 INCOME GROWTH.
REGRESSION
  /VARS=SAVINGS TO GROWTH
  /MISS=PAIRWISE
  /DEP=SAVINGS /ENTER.
FACTOR MATRIX IN(COR=CORMTX).
  • This example performs a regression analysis on file country.sav and then uses a different file for FACTOR. The file is an existing matrix data file.
  • MATRIX=IN specifies the matrix data file CORMTX.
  • CORMTX does not replace country.sav as the active dataset.
