ASPREADSHEET procedure

Saves results from an analysis of variance in a spreadsheet (R.W. Payne).

Options

MEANS = pointer Pointer to tables to contain the treatment means; default means
SEMEANS = pointer Pointer to tables to contain the effective standard errors of treatment means; default ese
SEDMEANS = pointer Pointer to matrices to contain standard errors of differences of treatment means; default sed
EFFECTS = pointer Pointer to tables to contain the treatment effects; default effects
REPLICATIONS = pointer Pointer to tables of treatment replications; default replication
RESIDUALS = variate Variate to save the residuals in the fittedvalues page; default residuals
FITTEDVALUES = variate Variate to save the fitted values in the fittedvalues page; default fittedvalues
AOVTABLE = pointer Pointer to a text and variates containing the information in the analysis-of-variance table; default aovtable
COVINFORMATION = pointer Pointer to a text and variates containing the information about the estimated covariate regression coefficients; default cov
MVINFORMATION = pointer Pointer to a text and variates containing the information the about estimated missing values; default missing
EQFACTORS = factors Factors whose levels are to be assumed to be equal within the comparisons between means, when calculating effective standard errors
RMETHOD = string token Type of residuals to form (simple, standardized); default simp
SPREADSHEET = string tokens What to include in the spreadsheet (aovtable, covariates, effects, means, semeans, sedmeans, replications, fittedvalues, missingvalues); default aovt, cova, mean, sedm, repl, fitt, miss
OUTFILENAME = texts Name of Genstat workbook file (.gwb) or Excel (.xls or .xlsx) file to create
SAVE = ANOVA save structure Specifies which analysis to save; default * i.e. most recent one

No parameters

Description

ASPREADSHEET puts results from an analysis of variance into a spreadsheet. By default the results are from the most recent ANOVA, but you use the SAVE option to specify the save structure from some other analysis.

The SPREADSHEET option specifies which pages of the spreadsheet to form, with settings:

    aovtable analysis of variance table,
    covariates estimated covariate regression coefficients and their standard errors (if any covariates in the analysis),
    effects tables of treatment effects,
    means tables of treatment means,
    semeans tables of effective standard errors of treatment means,
    sedmeans symmetric matrices of standard errors of differences of treatment means,
    replications replication tables of treatment terms,
    fittedvalues y-variate, fitted values and residuals,
    missingvalues estimates for missing values (if any).

By default, SPREADSHEET = aovt, cova, mean, sedm, repl, fitt, miss.

To help avoid clashes between the columns of the spreadsheets if you want to save results from more than one analysis, the parameters MEANS, SEMEANS, SEDMEANS, EFFECTS, REPLICATIONS, RESIDUALS, FITTEDVALUES, AOVTABLE, COVINFORMATION and MVINFORMATION allow you to specify identifiers for the columns (or sets of columns) that will store the corresponding results in the current spreadsheet.

The EQFACTORS option allows you to specify factors within the tables of means whose levels are assumed to be equal for the two means, when calculating effective standard errors.

The RMETHOD option controls whether the residuals are simple residuals (like those printed by ANOVA – the default) or whether they are standardized according to their variances.

You can save the data in either a Genstat workbook (.gwb) or an Excel spreadsheet (.xls or .xlsx), by setting the OUTFILENAME option to the name of the file to create. If the name is specified without a suffix, '.gwb' is added (so that a Genstat workbook is saved). If OUTFILENAME is not specified, the data are put into a spreadsheet opened inside Genstat.

Options: MEANS, SEMEANS, SEDMEANS, EFFECTS, REPLICATIONS, RESIDUALS, FITTEDVALUES, AOVTABLE, COVINFORMATION, MVINFORMATION, EQFACTORS, RMETHOD, SPREADSHEET, OUTFILENAME, SAVE.

Parameters: none.

Action with RESTRICT

If the Y variate is restricted, that restriction will carry over into the fitted-values spreadsheet.
