Transformation of variables in Survo data sets: VAR operation: 1 = Simple transformations (type 1) 2 = Composite transformations (type 2) 3 = Lags and leads in transformations 4 = Generating random variates 5 = Special transformations (#RANK,#NORMAL,#STD,etc.) 6 = Using additional data sets (or matrices) in the VAR operation 7 = Transformation of string variables Other operations: V = VARSTAT operation T = Same transformation for many variables simultaneously (TRANSFORM) C = Classified variables (CLASSIFY) L = Linear combinations of variables (LINCO) S = Smoothing of data (SMOOTH) M = Moving averages, cumulative sums, etc. (SER) P = Products of powers (POWERS) F = Code conversions of string fields in data files (FILE CONVERT) D = More information on data management
