Y, Columns
|
Defines one or more response columns.
|
Weight
|
(Optional) Identifies one column whose numeric values assign a weight to each row in the analysis.
|
Freq
|
(Optional) Identifies one column whose numeric values assign a frequency to each row in the analysis.
|
By
|
(Optional) Performs a separate matched pairs analysis for each level of the By variable.
|
Estimation Method
|
Select from one of several estimation methods for the correlations. With the Default option, Pairwise is used for data tables with more than 10 columns or more than 5000 rows. REML is used otherwise. For details, see Estimation Methods.
|
Correlations Multivariate
|
Shows or hides the Correlations table, which is a matrix of correlation coefficients that summarizes the strength of the linear relationships between each pair of response (Y) variables. This option is on by default.
This correlation matrix is calculated by the method that you select in the launch window.
|
CI of Correlation
|
Shows the two-tailed confidence intervals of the correlations. This option is off by default.
The default confidence coefficient is 95%. Use the Set α Level option to change the confidence coefficient.
|
Inverse Correlations
|
Shows or hides the inverse correlation matrix (Inverse Corr table). This option is off by default.
The diagonal elements of the matrix are a function of how closely the variable is a linear function of the other variables. In the inverse correlation, the diagonal is 1/(1 – R2) for the fit of that variable by all the other variables. If the multiple correlation is zero, the diagonal inverse element is 1. If the multiple correlation is 1, then the inverse element becomes infinite and is reported missing.
For statistical details about inverse correlations, see the Inverse Correlation Matrix.
|
Partial Correlations
|
Shows or hides the partial correlation table (Partial Corr), which shows the partial correlations of each pair of variables after adjusting for all the other variables. This option is off by default.
This table is the negative of the inverse correlation matrix, scaled to unit diagonal.
|
Covariance Matrix
|
Shows or hides the covariance matrix for the analysis. This option is off by default.
|
Pairwise Correlations
|
Shows or hides the Pairwise Correlations table, which lists the Pearson product-moment correlations for each pair of Y variables. This option is off by default.
The correlations are calculated by the pairwise deletion method. The count values differ if any pair has a missing value for either variable. The Pairwise Correlations report also shows significance probabilities and compares the correlations in a bar chart. All results are based on the pairwise method.
|
Simple Statistics
|
This menu contains two options that each show or hide simple statistics (mean, standard deviation, and so on) for each column. The univariate and multivariate simple statistics can differ when there are missing values present, or when the Robust method is used.
Univariate Simple Statistics
Shows statistics that are calculated on each column, regardless of values in other columns. These values match those produced by the Distribution platform.
Multivariate Simple Statistics
Shows statistics that correspond to the estimation method selected in the launch window. If the REML, ML, or Robust method is selected, the mean vector and covariance matrix are estimated by that selected method. If the Row-wise method is selected, all rows with at least one missing value are excluded from the calculation of means and variances. If the Pairwise method is selected, the mean and variance are calculated for each column.
These options are off by default.
|
Nonparametric Correlations
|
This menu contains three nonparametric measures: Spearman’s Rho, Kendall’s Tau, and Hoeffding’s D. These options are off by default.
For details, see Nonparametric Correlations.
|
Set α Level
|
You can specify any alpha value for the correlation confidence intervals. The default value of alpha is 0.05.
Four alpha values are listed: 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.50. Select Other to enter any other value.
|
Scatterplot Matrix
|
Shows or hides a scatterplot matrix of each pair of response variables. This option is on by default.
For details, see Scatterplot Matrix.
|
Color Map
|
The Color Map menu contains three types of color maps.
Color Map On Correlations
Produces a cell plot that shows the correlations among variables on a scale from red (+1) to blue (-1).
Color Map On p-values
Produces a cell plot that shows the significance of the correlations on a scale from p = 0 (red) to p = 1 (blue).
Cluster the Correlations
Produces a cell plot that clusters together similar variables. The correlations are the same as for Color Map on Correlations, but the positioning of the variables may be different.
These options are off by default.
|
Parallel Coord Plot
|
Shows or hides a parallel coordinate plot of the variables. This option is off by default.
|
Ellipsoid 3D Plot
|
Shows or hides a 95% confidence ellipsoid around three variables that you are asked to specify the three variables. This option is off by default.
|
Principal Components
|
This menu contains options to show or hide a principal components report. You can select correlations, covariances, or unscaled. Selecting one of these options when another of the reports is shown changes the report to the new option. Select None to remove the report. This option is off by default.
Principal components is a technique to take linear combinations of the original variables. The first principal component has maximum variation, the second principal component has the next most variation, subject to being orthogonal to the first, and so on. For details, see the chapter Analyzing Principal Components and Reducing Dimensionality.
|
Outlier Analysis
|
This menu contains options that show or hide plots that measure distance in the multivariate sense using one of these methods: the Mahalanobis distance, jackknife distances, and the T2 statistic.
For details, see Outlier Analysis.
|
Item Reliability
|
This menu contains options that each shows or hides an item reliability report. The reports indicate how consistently a set of instruments measures an overall response, using either Cronbach’s α or standardized α. These options are off by default.
For details, see Item Reliability.
|
Impute Missing Data
|
Produces a new data table that duplicates your data table and replaces all missing values with estimated values. This option is available only if your data table contains missing values.
For details, see Impute Missing Data.
|
Show Points
|
Shows or hides the points in the scatterplots.
|
Density Ellipses
|
Shows or hides the 95% density ellipses in the scatterplots. Use the Ellipse α menu to change the α-level.
|
Shaded Ellipses
|
Colors each ellipse. Use the Ellipses Transparency and Ellipse Color menus to change the transparency and color.
|
Show Correlations
|
Shows or hides the correlation of each histogram in the upper left corner of each scatterplot.
|
Show Histogram
|
Shows either horizontal or vertical histograms in the label cells. Once histograms have been added, select Show Counts to label each bar of the histogram with its count. Select Horizontal or Vertical to either change the orientation of the histograms or remove the histograms.
|
Ellipse α
|
Sets the α-level used for the ellipses. Select one of the standard α-levels in the menu, or select Other to enter a different one. The default value is 0.95.
|
Ellipses Transparency
|
Sets the transparency of the ellipses if they are colored. Select one of the default levels, or select Other to enter a different one. The default value is 0.2.
|
Ellipse Color
|
Sets the color of the ellipses if they are colored. Select one of the colors in the palette, or select Other to use another color. The default value is red.
