When you run a statistical test on a table, you can optionally write out IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Reporter diagnostics information that shows the p values and some of the intermediate figures used to calculate the statistics. The information is in comma-delimited format, so you can open it in Microsoft Excel and perform calculations on the data.
The diagnostics file contains information for each table that contains a statistical test. The first line of the section describes the table, whether there is overlap in the columns tested, whether the table is weighted or unweighted, and whether the effective base was used. This is followed by additional information for each test.
The first column indicates the type of test:
• CHI. The chi-square test and/or Fisher's exact test.
• CPT. The column proportions test.
• CMN. The column means test.
• NTP. The net difference test for a category row.
• NTM. The net difference test for a mean row.
• PPT. The paired preference test.
The remaining information is different for each test.
