In SPSS, how do I generate a correlation matrix and export it into a new data set?
In SPSS, use the CORRELATIONS command to generate a
correlation matrix.
For example, suppose you have three variables (e.g., age,
response, and time), from which you would
like to generate a correlation matrix. You can export the correlation
matrix into a new SPSS data set. The set of commands is as follows:
The resulting correlation matrix will include the number of
observations, standard deviations, means, and variable names. The data
set correlations.sav will be saved in the
c:\temp folder.
For more about statistical and mathematical software, email the UITS Stat/Math Center, visit the center's web page, or phone 812-855-4724 (IUB) or 317-278-4740 (IUPUI). The center is located in Bloomington at 410 N. Park Avenue, and is open for consultation by appointment Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
