spss segmentation cultural program has two options.
(1) Comparative group.
(2) Output organized in groups.
Key variables (variables used to identify and match different files cases, when two sets of data sorted unknown, they can specify the key variables, key variables need to be set according to the data key variables in ascending order, if not in ascending order, the two SPSS a file merger error resulting in horizontal mergers)
Reset the structure of the data file, when the data structure does not meet the analytical methods will need to be reorganized.
Lateral structure (case group) for the selected variables recombinant cases data - Reconstruction
Vertical structure (variable group) reconstructed data selected variables recombinant wizard Case Study
Selected cases reconfigurable bit becomes set specifically set number of all data variables a set (e.g., w1, w2, w3) a plurality (e.g., p1, p2, p3, w1, w2, w3
Selecting varying opposite case the group identity, using the case number, without using the selected variable
Variables to be transposed, the target location (name), a fixed variable to create a variable index √ no more than create an index variable index value what specific type continuously variable name edit digital √ index variable names and labels (batch)
Options
Processing for the selected data file is removed from the new variable variable √
Remains as a fixed variable and handle missing or empty value for all transformed variables to create cases √ in the new file, data is discarded, the number of cases variables, calculating new cases created by the current data in case the number, name tags, complete, immediate reorganization of data √, generated by the Wizard into a syntax window and paste the statement.
Restructure selected cases into variables, data reconstruction wizard, Restructure selected variables become case cases, selected cases reconfigurable bit variable √
Transposition of all data, select a variable, the variable identifier, the index variable, data sorting, and index variable are identified will sort the data √, whether: a data use status of the current sort option, a new set of sequential variable, the variable sort initial composition (e.g., w1, w2, w3, f1, f2, f3,) √, sorted by index of the combination (w1, f1, w2, f2, w3, f3,) cases count variable, calculated created by the current data in the case of number, name, label, indicator variables, new cases of root name, complete, immediate reorganization of data √, the wizard-generated statements and paste into a syntax window.
