Small data sets with only one or few variables can be listed simply
as follows:
11 *DATA X: 17.3 -3.4 4.5 6.8 END
12 *
13 *DATA TEST:(X,Y,test1) 2,4,6 7,2,0 8,4,5 11,5,0
14 * 3,2,1 5,12,7 4,6,6 9,9,5 4,5,1 8,6,14 END
15 *
Above two data sets X and TEST are written.
Please, observe the colon ':' after the name of the data set.
The X data has only one variable (X) with 4 observations. In the TEST
data we have three variables (X,Y,test1) and 10 triplets of
observations. END or an empty line terminates the list of values.
These data can be used as any other in statistical operations.
For example, CORR TEST computes the means, std.devs and correlations
for the three variables of TEST.
In more advanced applications other forms of Survo data
representation should be preferred to.
