how to create a new file

[Keli Saporta]

Dear list

I have a file in which every participant has four recodes, one for each condition and the DV is RT .  Thus I have to change the file so that it includes only one recode for each participants so that rt will become a within subject variable.

How can I do it?

 

Here is an example of the file

Part       cond      rt

1.00        1.00        202.00

1.00        2.00        303.00

1.00        3.00        200.00

1.00        4.00        209.00

2.00        1.00        199.00

2.00        2.00        202.00

2.00        3.00        303.00

2.00        4.00        200.00

3.00        1.00        209.00

3.00        2.00        303.00

3.00        3.00        200.00

3.00        4.00        209.00

4.00        1.00        291.00

4.00        2.00        200.00

4.00        3.00        189.00

4.00        3.00        202.00

5.00        1.00        303.00

5.00        2.00        200.00

5.00        3.00        209.00

5.00        4.00        199.00

Example:
CASESTOVARS /ID idvar /INDEX var1.

Before reshaping the data, I suggest formatting your variables so as to not
display unneeded decimals.  

FORMATS cond (F1) / Part rt (F5.0).
CASESTOVARS
 /ID idvar
 /INDEX var1
 /SEPARATOR = ""
.
