PAIRWISE Subcommand (MVA command)

For each pair of quantitative variables, the PAIRWISE subcommand computes the number of pairwise nonmissing values, the pairwise means, the pairwise standard deviations, the pairwise covariances, and the pairwise correlation matrices. These results are organized as matrices. The cases that are used are all cases having nonmissing values for the pair of variables for which each computation is done.

Example

MVA VARIABLES=populatn density urban religion lifeexpf region
  /CATEGORICAL=region
  /PAIRWISE.

• Frequencies, means, standard deviations, covariances, and the correlations are displayed for populatn, density, urban, and lifeexpf. Each calculation uses all cases that have values for both variables under consideration.
