Examining Correlations |
The GPA data set contains information collected to determine which applicants at a university were likely to succeed in its computer science program. The variable GPA is the grade point average; HSM, HSS, and HSE are average high school grades in mathematics, science, and English; and SATM and SATV are scores on the mathematics and verbal portion of the SAT exam (Moore and McCabe 1989). Follow these steps to create a correlation analysis of the GPA data.
Open the GPA data set. |
Choose Analyze:Multivariate ( Y's ). |
Select GPA, HSM, HSS, HSE, SATM, and SATV. Then click the Y button to assign these variables the Y role. |
Your variables dialog should now appear, as shown in
Figure 18.4.
Click OK to create the multivariate window. |
By default, the multivariate window contains tables of
Univariate Statistics and the Correlation Matrix.
