Dear SIRS/MR DAVID NICHOLS
I have difficulty in finding out what
the abbrevations S, M and N in SPSS stand for. The following (please
scroll down) is my SPSS output on MANCOVA. N cannot stand for sample size
since it is thirty one and the half. Does S stand for standard deviation
while M stands for arithmetic mean? I read books by DR MARIJA J NORUSIS
and surf the Internet as well but am not able to find the answers.
Please kindly tell me exactly the long form for S,
M, and N as soon as it is oonvenient.
Many thanks and with best regards
ERIC SIM
