[ /SIGN varlist [ WITH varlist [ (PAIRED) ]]]
The /SIGN subcommand tests for differences between medians of the variables listed. The test does not make any assumptions about the distribution of the data.
If the WITH
keyword is omitted, then tests for all
combinations of the listed variables are performed.
If the WITH
keyword is given, and the (PAIRED)
keyword
is also given, then the number of variables preceding WITH
must be the same as the number following it.
In this case, tests for each respective pair of variables are
performed.
If the WITH
keyword is given, but the
(PAIRED)
keyword is omitted, then tests for each combination
of variable preceding WITH
against variable following
WITH
are performed.
