Re: Showing only Year and Month on the Bar Chart

[Gad Chen]

Hi, there,



I am doing a simple bar chart for showing sale numbers by Each Month.





The syntax i am using is:



compute SaleDate=DATE.MOYR(Sale_Month,Sale_Year).

format SALEDATE (SDATE10).

GRAPH

  /BAR(SIMPLE)=COUNT BY SaleDate .





But x-axis is showing those: "2000/01/01", "2000/02/01", "2000/03/01", ....;



Do you know how to get rid of the day to show: 2000/01, 2000/02, 2000/03 and
so on.



Gad



Thanks

Can you live with 3 character month abbreviations in English? If so, try use the MOYR6 format.

Hi all,

I ran an ANOVA and got a p = 0.01. Then, i input the means/SDs/Ns  into Sample Power and get power of 73%.

I'm confused... I had thought that if your study wasn't designed for alpha=0.05, 2-tailed, then your analysis won't yield you a p< .05.

I thought i understoond power pretty well. I can't think of a time when i've done a power check after the fact and the power wasn't at least 80% when the p-value corresponding to the mean difference was = 0.01.

I suspect a brain fart on my part - what am i missing here?

Thanks

Carol,

Here is my top of my head thought. When you put the means/sds/Ns into the power
program, they defined the effect size you were expecting to find for a given
alpha value (did you use .05 or .01?) Even if you used alpha = .05, drawing a
one-sided 80% confidence interval around the p=.01 value is not necessarily going
to guarantee that the confidence interval does not also include the alpha = .05
value.

Hi all,

I'm working on an analysis plan for a multinomial logistic regression. I know that i want to include an interaction term in the analysis (agecat x race). I also know that i want to manually plot the results of the interation and in order to do this i will need the ORs for the reference categories. My question is how to get these. Is there a way to derive these from the information on the output? Or, do you just set one of the other categories as the refcat and re-run the analysis?

thanks for any info you have.
