FREQUENCIES 601<br />

• MISSING and NOMISSING are mutually exclusive. If both are specified, only the first<br />

specification is in effect.<br />

MIN(n) Lower bound below which values are not plotted.<br />

MAX(n) Upper bound above which values are not plotted.<br />

FREQ The pie charts are based on frequencies. Frequencies are displayed when<br />

you request values in the Chart Editor. This is the default.<br />

PERCENT The pie charts are based on percentage. Percentage is displayed when you<br />

request values in the Chart Editor.<br />

MISSING User-missing and system-missing values are treated as one category. This is<br />

the default. Specify INCLUDE on the MISSING subcommand to display system-missing<br />

and user-missing values as separate slices.<br />

NOMISSING Missing values are excluded from the chart. If you specify INCLUDE on the<br />

MISSING subcommand, each user-missing value is represented by one slice.<br />

Example<br />

FREQUENCIES VAR=RACE /PIECHART.<br />

• FREQUENCIES produces a frequency table and the default pie chart for variable RACE.<br />

Example<br />

FREQUENCIES VAR=V1 V2 /PIE=MAX(10).<br />

• For each variable V1 and V2, FREQUENCIES produces a frequency table and a pie chart<br />

with values through 10.<br />

HISTOGRAM Subcommand<br />

HISTOGRAM displays a plot for each numeric variable named on the VARIABLES subcommand.<br />

By default, the horizontal axis of each histogram is scaled in frequencies and the interval width<br />

is determined by the largest frequency count of the variable being plotted.<br />

• The minimum specification is the HISTOGRAM keyword, which generates default<br />

histograms.<br />

• HISTOGRAM cannot be used with BARCHART.<br />

MIN(n) Lower bound below which values are not plotted.<br />

MAX(n) Upper bound above which values are not plotted.<br />

FREQ(n) Vertical axis scaled in frequencies, where optional n is the scale. If n is not<br />

specified or if it is too small, FREQUENCIES chooses 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200,<br />

500, 1000, 2000, and so forth, depending on the largest category. This is the<br />

default.<br />

NORMAL Superimpose a normal curve. The curve is based on all valid values for the<br />

variable, including values excluded by MIN and MAX.
