STATISTICS Subcommand (EXAMINE command)

STATISTICS requests univariate statistics and determines how many extreme values are displayed. DESCRIPTIVES is the default. If you specify keywords on STATISTICS, only the requested statistics are displayed.

DESCRIPTIVES. Display the Descriptives table showing univariate statistics (the mean, median, 5% trimmed mean, standard error, variance, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, range, interquartile range, skewness, skewness standard error, kurtosis, and kurtosis standard error). This is the default.

EXTREME(n). Display the Extreme Values table presenting cases with the n largest and n smallest values. When there is a BY specification for VARIABLES, the n applies to each category of the BY variable(s) and shows two tables. The first table lists the extremes without the BY, and the second uses the BY. When multiple BY variables are present, each variable is represented in its own table (rather than one combined table). When n is omitted, the five largest and five smallest values are displayed. Extreme cases are labeled with their values for the identification variable if the ID subcommand is used or with their values for the system variable $CASENUM if ID is not specified.

ALL. Display the Descriptives and Extreme Values tables.

NONE. Display neither the Descriptives nor the Extreme Values tables.

Example

EXAMINE VARIABLE=FAILTIME /ID=BRAND
  /STATISTICS=EXTREME(10) /PLOT=NONE.

• STATISTICS identifies the cases with the 10 lowest and 10 highest values for FAILTIME. These cases are labeled with the first characters of their values for the variable BRAND. The Descriptives table is not displayed.
