FREQUENCIES Subcommand (MULT RESPONSE command)

FREQUENCIES requests frequency tables for groups and individual variables. By default, a frequency table contains the count for each value, the percentage of responses, and the percentage of cases. For another method of producing frequency tables for individual variables, see the FREQUENCIES procedure.

• All groups must be created by GROUPS, and all individual variables to be tabulated must be named on VARIABLES.
• You can use the keyword TO to imply a set of group or individual variables. TO refers to the order in which variables are specified on the GROUPS or VARIABLES subcommand.

Example

MULT RESPONSE  GROUPS=MAGS 'MAGAZINES READ' (TIME TO STONE (2))
   /FREQUENCIES=MAGS. 

• The FREQUENCIES subcommand requests a frequency table for the multiple-dichotomy group MAGS, tabulating the frequency of the value 2 for each of the component variables TIME to STONE.

Example

MULT RESPONSE
 GROUPS=MAGS 'MAGAZINES READ' (TIME TO STONE (2))
      PROBS 'PERCEIVED NATIONAL PROBLEMS' (PROB1 TO PROB3 (1,9))
      MEMS 'SOCIAL ORGANIZATION MEMBERSHIPS' (VFW AMLEG ELKS (1))
 /VARIABLES SEX(1,2) EDUC(1,3)
 /FREQUENCIES=MAGS TO MEMS SEX EDUC. 

• The FREQUENCIES subcommand requests frequency tables for MAGS, PROBS, MEMS, SEX, and EDUC.
• You cannot specify MAGS TO EDUC because SEX and EDUC are individual variables, and MAGS, PROBS, and MEMS are group variables.
