N Subcommand (MATRIX DATA command)

N specifies the population N when the data do not include it. The only valid specification is an integer, which indicates the population N.

• MATRIX DATA generates one record with a ROWTYPE_ of N for each split file, and it uses the specified N value for each continuous variable.

Example

MATRIX DATA VARIABLES=V1 TO V3 /CONTENTS=MEAN SD CORR
   /N=99.
BEGIN DATA
  5  4  3
  3  4  5
  1
 .6  1
 .7 .8  1
END DATA.

• MATRIX DATA uses 99 as the N value for all continuous variables.
