Element Name Element Type Description
Means & Standard Deviations Button Displays a spreadsheet with the means and standard deviations for all variables (selected from the Startup Panel). A particularly useful Graph of Input Data for this spreadsheet is the histogram of the frequency distribution for the respective variable. That plot will also indicate the normal distribution, so it may serve as a quick visual check for any violations of the normality assumption.
Correlations Button Displays a spreadsheet with the correlation matrix for all variables (selected from the Startup Panel). A particularly useful Graph of Input Data for this spreadsheet is the scatterplot of the respective two variables that are highlighted.
Box & Whisker Plot of Vars Button Upon clicking this button, selecting variables from the resulting Select Variables dialog box, and selecting an option from the Box-Whisker Type dialog box produces a box and whisker plot (showing medians and quartiles, means and standard deviations, etc.) for selected variables.
Matrix Plot of Correlations Button Produces a scatterplot matrix for selected variables.
