984 MEANS<br />

LINEARITY Test of linearity. LINEARITY (alias ALL) displays additional statistics to the<br />

tables created by the ANOVA keyword: the sums of squares, degrees of freedom,<br />

and mean square associated with linear and nonlinear components, the<br />

F ratio, and significance level for the ANOVA table and Pearson’s r and r 2<br />

for the Measures of Association table. LINEARITY is ignored if the control<br />

variable is a string.<br />

NONE No additional statistics. This is the default if STATISTICS is omitted.<br />

Example<br />

MEANS TABLES=INCOME BY SEX BY RACE<br />

/STATISTICS=ANOVA.<br />

• MEANS produces a Group Statistics table of INCOME by RACE within SEX and computes<br />

an analysis of variance only for INCOME by SEX.<br />

MISSING Subcommand<br />

MISSING controls the treatment of missing values. If no MISSING subcommand is specified<br />

each combination of a dependent variable and control variables is handled separately.<br />

TABLE Delete cases with missing values on a tablewise basis. A case with a missing<br />

value for any variable specified for a table is not used. Thus, every case contained<br />

in a table has a complete set of nonmissing values for all variables in<br />

that table. When you separate table requests with a slash, missing values are<br />

handled separately for each list. Any MISSING specification will result in tablewise<br />

treatment of missing values.<br />

INCLUDE Include user-missing values. This option treats user-missing values as valid<br />

values.<br />

DEPENDENT Exclude user-missing values for dependent variables only. DEPENDENT<br />

treats user-missing values for all control variables as valid.<br />
