  • MATRIX DATA defines the variables in the file and creates a active dataset of matrix materials. The values for the variable ROWTYPE_ are COV, indicating that the matrix contains covariance coefficients. The FORMAT subcommand indicates that data are in full square format.
  • MCONVERT converts the covariance matrix to a correlation matrix plus a vector of standard deviations. By default, the converted matrix is written to the active dataset.
