ABSTRACT
The Frequencies command produces frequency distributions for the specified variables. The output includes the number of occurrences, percentages, valid percentages, and cumulative percentages. The valid percentages and the cumulative percentages comprise only the data that are not designated as missing. Cumulative percentages and percentiles are valid only for data that are measured on at least an ordinal scale. Because the output contains one line for each value of a variable, this command works best on variables with a relatively small number of values. The Frequencies command can be used to provide a number of descriptive statistics, as well as a variety of percentile values. The Statistics dialog box adds on to the first section of output from the Frequencies command.
