Arrangement by Number/Alpha/Measure/Fit/PBS (Asc./Desc.) = mN, fN, N

Arrange= controls the ordering of the elements in the tables of measures: Table 7 and Table 14..

 

 

These letters can be combined to produce many rearranged copies of each report, e.g.,

Arrange = Ma,F

means produce two copies of each report:

for the first copy,

Ma specifies: measure descending (major), alphabetic ascending (minor).

for the second copy

F specifies: fit ascending (major) for the main reports.

t-statistic ascending (major) for the Bias reports.

 

The rearrangements can be specified to apply only to a particular facet by prefacing that facet's number to its rearrangement instructions. The Bias tables are indicated as facet 0.

Example: "Arrange = 1m,2m,2P,3A,0M,N" means

1m report the elements of facet 1, sorted by measure, descending

2m report the elements of facet 2, sorted by measure, descending

2P report the elements of facet 2, sorted by point-biserial, ascending

3A report the elements of facet 3, sorted alphabetically, ascending

0M report the bias terms, sorted by bias size (measure), ascending

N report all facets, sorted by entry number order, ascending

 

Parentheses () are optional: Arrange = (1f, 2m, F)

 

Arrange= by itself suppresses Tables 7 and 14.

 

For more elaborate sorting and column select, the easiest approach is to copy-and-paste the Measure or Bias/Interaction Table into an Excel worksheet, then use Excel's "Data", "Text to Columns" to put the Facets columns into Excel columns. You can then sort the columns and delete unneeded ones.
