From SURVO MM ver.3.06 certain results of STAT are also saved as a matrix file in the following form. Example: STAT DECA / VARS=Height,Weight MAT LOAD STAT.M' MATRIX STAT.M' Basic_statistics_of_DECA' /// Height Weight mean 186.958 85.563 stddev 5.090 6.848 N 48.000 48.000 min 173.000 68.000 max 198.000 105.000 N_miss 0.000 0.000 skewness -0.448 -0.042 kurtosis 0.327 1.201 lower_Q 184.000 82.000 median 188.000 86.000 upper_Q 190.000 90.000 Elements of this matrix can be obtained e.g. for editorial computing as MAT_STAT.M(Height,kurtosis)=0.32694177614304
