MEANS [TABLES=]{varlist} BY varlist [BY...] [/varlist...]<br />

{ALL }<br />

[/MISSING={TABLE }]<br />

{INCLUDE }<br />

{DEPENDENT}<br />

[/CELLS= [MEAN** ] [COUNT** ] [STDDEV**]<br />

[MEDIAN] [GMEDIAN] [SEMEAN] [SUM ]<br />

[MIN] [MAX] [RANGE] [VARIANCE]<br />

[KURT] [SEKURT] [SKEW] [SESKEW]<br />

[FIRST] [LAST]<br />

[NPCT] [SPCT] [NPCT(var)] [SPCT(var)]<br />

[HARMONIC] [GEOMETRIC]<br />

[DEFAULT]<br />

[ALL] [NONE] ]<br />

[/STATISTICS=[ANOVA] [{LINEARITY}] [NONE**]]<br />

{ALL }<br />

**Default if the subcommand is omitted.<br />

Example<br />

MEANS TABLES=V1 TO V5 BY GROUP<br />

/STATISTICS=ANOVA.<br />

By default, MEANS (alias BREAKDOWN) displays means, standard deviations, and group<br />

counts for a numeric dependent variable and group counts for a string variable within groups<br />

defined by one or more control (independent) variables. Other procedures that display<br />

univariate statistics are SUMMARIZE, FREQUENCIES, and DESCRIPTIVES.<br />

Cell Contents. By default, MEANS displays means, standard deviations, and cell counts for a<br />

dependent variable across groups defined by one or more control variables. You can also<br />

display sums and variances using the CELLS subcommand.<br />

Statistics. In addition to the statistics displayed for each cell of the table, you can obtain a<br />

one-way analysis of variance and test of linearity using the STATISTICS subcommand.<br />

Basic Specification<br />

The basic specification is TABLES with a table list. The actual keyword TABLES can be<br />

omitted.<br />

• The minimum table list specifies a dependent variable, the keyword BY, and a control<br />

variable.<br />
