MATRIX Subcommand (HOMALS command)

The MATRIX subcommand is used to write category quantifications to a matrix data file or a previously declared dataset name (DATASET DECLARE command).

  • The specification on MATRIX is keyword OUT and a quoted file specification of dataset name, enclosed in parentheses.
  • You can specify an asterisk (*) replace the active dataset.
  • The matrix data file has one case for each value of each original variable.

The variables of the matrix data file and their values are:

ROWTYPE_. String variable containing value QUANT for all cases.

LEVEL. String variable LEVEL containing the values (or value labels if present) of each original variable.

VARNAME_. String variable containing the original variable names.

DIM1...DIMn. Numeric variable containing the category quantifications for each dimension. Each variable is labeled DIMn, where n represents the dimension number.
