Using Frequencies and Categories
To manipulate the way in which data points are analyzed, you can use frequency values
and/or category values. Frequency values let you “weight” particular data points.
Category values let you analyze a subset of the data points.
Example of a Frequency Column Example of a Frequency Column Example of a Frequency Column Example of a Frequency Column
In a data variable, you can use any column in the Data/Matrix Editor to specify a
frequency value (or weight) for the data points on each row. A frequency value must be
an integer
‚
0 if Calculation Type = OneVar or MedMed or if Plot Type = Box Plot. For
other statistical calculations or plots, the frequency value can be any number
‚
0.
For example, suppose you enter a student’s test scores, where:
• The mid-semester exam is weighted twice as much as other tests.
• The final exam is weighted three times as much.
