Re: How to ADD MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATION ON A CTABLE

[B, Muthukkumaran (IMCHR)]

HI,

 

How do I Add Mean and standard deviation on a table

 

Below is the example.

 

		TT
Q7.	Valid N	99
	Mean	1882.84
	Median	2000.00
	Mode	2200.00
	Standard Deviation	627
	MEAN + SD	2510.12

 

Thanks in advance for the help

And I doubt the original syntax ever worked without the forward slash.

John,

The slash is your friend.

 

do repeat

  a = v158 to v180 v201 to v221 /

  b = r158 to r180 r201 to r221.

compute b=a.

end repeat.

This syntax worked in 1991.  It creates new intermediate variables which need to be reverse coded to generate sets of indices of (un)healthy diet.

 

do repeat

  a = v158 to v180 v201 to v221

  b = r158 to r180 r201 to r221.

compute b=a.

end repeat.

 

When I run it I get:

 

 

Error # 4502 in column 10.  Text: =

An equals sign appears in a variable or value list where it is not expected.

It will be ignored.

Execution of this command stops.

Error # 4001.  Command name: end repeat

Is it me or SPSS?

I am guessing that this output is from CTABLES.  If not, some minor modification will be needed.

The easiest way to do this is to use the STATS TABLE CALC extension command.  If it is not already installed, you can add it from the Extensions menu or, in older versions, from Utilities.

Here is the syntax.

STATS TABLE CALC SUBTYPE="customtable" PROCESS=PRECEDING 

/TARGET FORMULA="x[0]+ x1" DIMENSION=ROWS LEVEL = -1  LOCATION="Standard Deviation"

    LABEL="Mean + SD" MODE=AFTER.
