1026 MULT RESPONSE<br />

ROW Row percentages.<br />

COLUMN Column percentages.<br />

TOTAL Two-way table total percentages.<br />

ALL Cell counts, row percentages, column percentages, and two-way table total<br />

percentages. This is the default if you specify the CELLS subcommand without<br />

keywords.<br />

Example<br />

MULT RESPONSE GROUPS=MAGS ’MAGAZINES READ’ (TIME TO STONE (2))<br />

/VARIABLES=SEX (1,2) (EDUC (1,3)<br />

/TABLES=MAGS BY EDUC SEX<br />

/CELLS=ROW COLUMN.<br />

• The CELLS subcommand requests row and column percentages in addition to counts.<br />

BASE Subcommand<br />

BASE lets you obtain cell percentages and marginal frequencies based on responses rather than<br />

respondents. Specify one of two keywords:<br />

CASES Base cell percentages on cases. This is the default if you omit the BASE<br />

subcommand and do not request paired tables. You cannot use this specification<br />

if you specify PAIRED on TABLE.<br />

RESPONSES Base cell percentages on responses. This is the default if you request paired<br />

tables.<br />

Example<br />

MULT RESPONSE GROUPS=PROBS ’NATIONAL PROBLEMS MENTIONED’<br />

(PROB1 TO PROB3 (1,9))/VARIABLES=EDUC (1,3)<br />

/TABLES=EDUC BY PROBS<br />

/CELLS=ROW COLUMN<br />

/BASE=RESPONSES.<br />

• The BASE subcommand requests marginal frequencies and cell percentages based on<br />

responses.<br />

MISSING Subcommand<br />

MISSING controls missing values. Its minimum specification is a single keyword.<br />

• By default, MULT RESPONSE deletes cases with missing values on a table-by-table basis<br />

for both individual variables and groups. In addition, values falling outside the specified<br />

range are not tabulated and are included in the missing category. Thus, specifying a range<br />

that excludes missing values is equivalent to the default missing-value treatment.<br />

• For a multiple-dichotomy group, a case is considered missing by default if none of the<br />

component variables contains the tabulating value for that case. Keyword MDGROUP<br />

overrides the default and specifies listwise deletion for multiple-dichotomy groups.
