Example<br />

RANK 1325<br />

RANK VARIABLES=MORTGAGE VALUE /FRACTION=BLOM<br />

/NORMAL INTO MORTNORM VALNORM.<br />

• RANK generates new variables MORTNORM and VALNORM. MORTNORM contains normal<br />

scores for MORTGAGE, and VALNORM contains normal scores for VALUE.<br />

PRINT Subcommand<br />

PRINT determines whether the summary tables are displayed. The summary table lists the<br />

ranked variables and their associated new variables in the working data file.<br />

YES Display the summary tables. This is the default.<br />

NO Suppress the summary tables.<br />

MISSING Subcommand<br />

MISSING controls the treatment of user-missing values.<br />

INCLUDE Include user-missing values. User-missing values are treated as valid values.<br />

EXCLUDE Exclude all missing values. User-missing values are treated as missing. This<br />

is the default.<br />

Example<br />

MISSING VALUE SALARY (0).<br />

RANK VARIABLES=SALARY /RANK INTO SALRANK /MISSING=INCLUDE.<br />

• RANK generates the new variable SALRANK.<br />

• INCLUDE causes the user-missing value 0 to be included in the ranking process.<br />
