Hi, It is indeed confusing. User guide (version 0.8.4) writes:
"More than one table can be specified in a single command. Each table is separated by a ‘/’. For example
MEANS TABLES = c d e BY x /a b BY x y /f BY y BY z.has three tables (the ‘TABLE =’ is optional). The first table has three dependent variables c, d and e and a single categorical variable x. The second table has two dependent variables a and b, and two categorical variables x and y. The third table has a single dependent variables f and a categorical variable formed by the combination of y and z." (p. 139)
The emphasis is on the third table. PSPP produces two tables for means of f by y and mean of f by x, rather than one for mean f by combination of y and z. SPSS *can* do it. I have attached two sample outputs. One for PSPP, and one for SPSS.
It would be very useful to resolve this issue. Cheers, Zoltan On 2015-01-25 23:38, ftr wrote:
Hi, I want to produce a table of means with 2 controls: var1 total var2 level 1 level 2 level 1 level 2 Total grand mean The dependent is coded 0 and 1 so that the cell entries easily provide percentages. I thought that MEANS DV1 by var by var2 would do the trick. But I get 3 separate tables DV1 by Var1 DV1 by Var2 DV1 (table with Grand mean). Does MEANS allow to do what I want (or another procedure) ?
