  • VARIABLES defines the variables and their maximum values.
  • ANALYSIS specifies that all variables from PRETEST1 to POSTEST2 are to be analyzed at the numeric level of optimal scaling, SES is to be analyzed at the ordinal level, and SCHOOL is to be analyzed as a single nominal. These variables are all of the variables that will be used in the analysis.
  • SETS specifies that there are three sets of variables to be analyzed and two variables in each set.
  • PRINT lists the object and fit scores.
  • PLOT plots the single-category and multiple-category coordinates of all variables in the analysis.
