CONDITION Subcommand (PROXSCAL command)

CONDITION specifies how transformations among sources are compared. The TRANSFORMATION subcommand specifies the type of transformation.

MATRIX. Matrix conditional. Only the proximities within each source are compared with each other. This is the default.

UNCONDITIONAL. Unconditional. This specification is appropriate when the proximities in all sources can be compared with each other and result in a single transformation of all sources simultaneously.

  • Note that if there is only one source, then MATRIX and UNCONDITIONAL give the same results.

Example 

PROXSCAL object01 TO object15
  /CONDITION=UNCONDITIONAL 
  /TRANSFORMATION=ORDINAL(UNTIE).
  • In this example, the proximities are ordinally transformed, where tied proximities are allowed to be untied. The transformations are performed simultaneously over all possible sources.
