DOMAIN Subcommand (CSORDINAL command)

The DOMAIN subcommand specifies the subpopulation for which the analysis is to be performed.

  • The keyword VARIABLE, followed by an equals sign, a variable, and a value in parentheses, are required. Put the value inside a pair of quotes if the value is formatted (such as date or currency) or if the factor is of string type.
  • The subpopulation is defined by all cases having the given value on the specified variable.
  • Analyses are performed only for the specified subpopulation.
  • For example, DOMAIN VARIABLE = myvar (1) defines the subpopulation by all cases for which variable MYVAR has value 1.
  • The specified variable may be numeric or string and must exist at the time the CSORDINAL procedure is invoked.
  • Stratification or cluster variables may be specified, but no other plan file variables are allowed on the DOMAIN subcommand.
  • Analysis variables may not be specified on the DOMAIN subcommand.
