TRANSFORM Keyword (MANOVA: Multivariate command)

The keyword TRANSFORM specified on PRINT displays the transposed transformation matrix in use for each subsequent design. This matrix is helpful in interpreting a multivariate analysis in which the interval-level variables have been transformed with either TRANSFORM or WSFACTORS.

  • The matrix displayed by this option is the transpose of the transformation matrix.
  • Original variables correspond to the rows of the matrix, and transformed variables correspond to the columns.
  • A transformed variable is a linear combination of the original variables using the coefficients displayed in the column corresponding to that transformed variable.
