graph command help

[Maguin, Eugene]

I want to plot the percent (or mean) of a 0,1 variable, call it ‘x’, by a categorical variable, year, using the graph command and I’m stuck on how to do it. IT seems trivial to do but I don’t understand it.

(I want to stay out of ggraph because the even though examples are presented everything is complex.)

I just use the GUI till I figure out the syntax. Pretty sure

GRAPH
  /BAR(SIMPLE)=MEAN(X) BY Year.

does what you want Gene.

You can use the `graph /bar()` command in SPSS to do this. If your variable `x` is coded 0/1 and you want the mean (which is equivalent to percent of 1s), try:

GRAPH
/BAR(GROUPED)=MEAN(x) BY year.

This will give you the mean of `x` for each category of `year`. If you need it as percentages, you might consider computing a new variable or formatting the y-axis accordingly.
