1 PAR TESTS If a WEIGHT varable s specfed, t s used to replcate a case as many tmes as ndcated by the weght value rounded to the nearest nteger. If the workspace requrements are exceeded and samplng has been selected, a random sample of cases s chosen for analyss usng the algorthm descrbed n SAMPLE. For the RUS test, f samplng s specfed, t s gnored. The tests are descrbed n Segel (956). ote: Before SPSS verson 0..3, the WEIGHT varable was used to replcate a case as many tmes as ndcated by the nteger porton of the weght value. The case then had a probablty of addtonal ncluson equal to the fractonal porton of the weght value. One-Sample Ch-Square Test Cell Specfcaton If the (lo, h) specfcaton s used, each nteger value n the lo to h range s desgnated a cell. Otherwse, each dstnct value encountered s consdered a cell. Observed Frequences O 6 If (lo, h) has been selected, every observed value s truncated to an nteger and, f t s n the lo to h range, t s ncluded n the frequency count for the correspondng cell. Otherwse, a count of the frequency of occurrence of the dstnct values s obtaned. Expected Frequences EXP 6 If none or EQUAL s specfed, 6 6 number of observatons EXP = number of cells k [n range]

2 PAR TESTS When the expected values E 6 are specfed ether as counts, percentages, or proportons, EXP = E k = E If there are cells wth expected values less than 5, the number of such cells and the mnmum expected value are prnted. If the number of user-suppled expected frequences s not equal to the number of cells generated, or f an expected value s less than or equal to zero, the test termnates wth an error message. Ch-Square and Its Degrees of Freedom χ = O EXP EXP = df = k k 6 The sgnfcance level s from the ch-square dstrbuton wth k degrees of freedom.

3 PAR TESTS 3 Kolmogorov-Smrnov One-Sample Test Calculaton of Emprcal Cumulatve Dstrbuton Functon The observatons are sorted nto ascendng order X6 to X 6.
