STATISTICS Subcommand (DESCRIPTIVES command)

By default, DESCRIPTIVES displays the mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum. Use the STATISTICS subcommand to request other statistics.

• When you use STATISTICS, DESCRIPTIVES displays only those statistics you request.
• The keyword ALL obtains all statistics.
• You can specify the keyword DEFAULT to obtain the default statistics without having to name MEAN, STDDEV, MIN, and MAX.
• The median and mode, which are available in FREQUENCIES and EXAMINE, are not available in DESCRIPTIVES. These statistics require that values be sorted, and DESCRIPTIVES does not sort values (the SORT subcommand does not sort values, it simply lists variables in the order you request).
• If you request a statistic that is not available, DESCRIPTIVES issues an error message and the command fails.
