Re: Multi-response variables

[Silviu Matei]

Hi Jan,

I think that you may not be able to do that unless to recode your
variables. For instance, if you have 3 variables var1, var2 and var3. And
currently, they all have value 1 when checked, you will have to recode var2
(1=2) and var3 (1=3). The you can apply the method for multiple analysis
response. The problem is that - in the current state of facts - as all your
variables have the same code (1) - the multiple response procedure can not
distinguish between different answers. This is why the variables included
in the procedure should have different codes.
Hope that works.

I seem to have missed the original post but there are two kinds of multiple
response variables. This user's variables appear to be multiple dichotomies
which work in MULT RESPONSE, TABLES, and CTABLES.
