Re: means procedure

[Zoltan Fabian]

Hi,
It is indeed confusing. User guide (version 0.8.4) writes:

"More than one table can be specified in a single command. Each table is 
separated by a ‘/’. For example
MEANS TABLES =
c d e BY x
/a b BY x y
/f BY y BY z.
has three tables (the ‘TABLE =’ is optional). The first table has three 
dependent variables c, d and e and a single categorical variable x. The 
second table has two dependent variables a and b, and two categorical 
variables x and y. The third table has a single dependent variables f 
and a categorical variable formed by the combination of y and z." (p. 139)

The emphasis is on the third table. PSPP produces two tables for means 
of f by y and mean of f by x, rather than one for mean f by combination 
of y and z.
SPSS *can* do it. I have attached two sample outputs. One for PSPP, and 
one for SPSS.
It would be very useful to resolve this issue.

Cheers,

Zoltan
