The Criteria pop-up menu at the top of the dataset should show the words “United States” to indicate that the criterion is in effect. The pop-up menu lists all the criteria that have been specified for a dataset. You can use the menu to easily and quickly toggle between various alternative criteria to explore their effects on the dataset and on your analysis. You can also use the “New” command in this pop-up menu to get access to the Create Criteria dialog box.
• Click on the symbol between the two scroll bars on the right and drag down to expose the attribute pane. You can see descriptive information about each variable in the dataset.
• Choose No Criteria from the pop-up menu. Notice how all row numbers in the dataset become black, showing that all rows are now included in the analysis. The rotating yin-yang symbol shows that the results are recalculating. The attribute pane updates to display information about all rows in the dataset.
Close the view first and then the dataset without saving changes to either one.
5. Additional Information
This document covers only a sample of the variety of features you will find in StatView 4.0. Play around with the demonstration version to see the many capabilities of the program.
Importing to StatView
StatView can import data from text files. StatView’s import mechanism makes intelligent choices about how to place data into columns and how to fill in missing values. This is described in detail in the manual for the full version. One of the ways to try out StatView’s features is to import data that you have saved in text format. This demonstration version restricts importing to up to 25 rows and 25 columns of your dataset.
Features disabled in this demonstration
The demonstration version you have does not allow you to save datasets, print datasets or views, and does not let you export your results to other programs. In addition, you cannot save views as either Text or PICT files. Also, you can only read StatView 4.x format files. In the full version of StatView 4.0, you can easily perform all these tasks. It is important to remember that the full StatView 4.0 will do these things since they are often vital to your work.
