Separate tests for samples given in the edit field or taken from data files can be performed by a COMPARE operation. For example, to compare two small samples by using standard tests, we may activate COMPARE in the following scheme: DATA CORN1: 83 91 94 89 89 96 91 92 90 END DATA CORN2: 91 90 81 83 84 83 88 91 89 84 END COMPARE CORN1,CORN2 When the data set consists of several variables, the selected variable is given in the form <name_of_data>(<variable>). For example, a paired comparison may be performed as: DATA TEST:(X,Y) 1.2,1.5 3.2,5 3.9,5 2.8,3.7 END COMPARE TEST(X),TEST(Y) / TEST=Paired C = COMPARE operation S = More information about statistical operations
